At no point in its history, at no point in the relatively short time of its existence, was the human being ever the biggest or the strongest animal on the face of the planet. Every animal of comparable mass is stronger, faster, or more agile. Curiously however, it is not the bigger, stronger animals that dominate the planet, even a rudimentary understanding of the laws of nature would dictate so. It is not the lion that has worn crowns and it is not the gorilla that has built great cities. No, credit for those goes solely to man. Humanity was able to achieve all of it due to a quirk in its evolutionary development. In exchange for the muscular development enjoyed by its cousins within the great ape family, humanity would instead get enhanced cognitive abilities in a tradeoff that no one but an idiot with the thickest of skulls would argue did not end in its favor. Armed with an intellect that the other animals could not match, humans noticed that a pointy rock would make a great weapon and that attaching said pointy rock to a long stick made for an even better one. Over the course of human development, it eventually came to pass that BOPP film came into being.

BOPP means Bi Oriented Polypropylene. It is a kind of material that is see through. It is also very stretchy and can be used for a variety of packaging needs.

Now, this type of material has a variety of uses. It is a barrier against moisture, both in and out. That means that moisture will not leak out, so anything that is moist and packed with the stuff will stay moist and conversely, anything that goes in dry will stay dry.

There are a lot things that can be ruined by moisture. Wood, food, clothing. Packing them in the film makes them protected against outside moisture while also protecting from drying out. A corpse can also be packaged in the stuff, really sealing all the decaying flavor.

Using such film when it comes to packing is good judgment. For things that have openings, like vases, it ensures that nothing gets inside. It also holds things together quite well, so whatever is packaged will be able to retain its shape more effectively than things that are packed without it.

When it comes to packing food, this stuff becomes that much more important. Food is meant to be consumed and generally, food is best consumed when it is fresh. But sometimes, eating fresh is just not possible. But using film to package it can make sure that it retains some degree of freshness. This keeps the food appetizing or at least edible.

Since this is a household good, it should not come at too high a price. Given its widespread ability, there should be many deals around to make it even more affordable. These deals can include coupons and sales. Taking advantage of such deals means a penny saved, and a penny saved is a penny earned.

While one of the main selling points of the material is its increased durability, it will not stop a bullet. It can however stretch quite a lot, allowing it some slack before it begins to tear. However, this film was not made to last forever. It was made with the intention that it would eventually have to be ripped off and human hands are more than capable of doing so.

There are certain things that living in modern times makes one accustomed to. As such, those things need to retain their flavor. And also their structural integrity.
