The last six months have seen a spike in box cutter injuries in Australia… the reason? Glad Wrap's universally hated design for the box cutter the company introduced six months ago.
But today marks the return of sanity and the rebirth of the original Glad Wrap cutter bar. That's right, those who were affected by the evil changes made by Glad Wrap don't have to bandage their scratched hands anymore.
National consumer outrage was sparked earlier this year when Glad Wrap repositioned the cutter bar on the box, and Glad haven't been getting a 'good wra'p since these changes were implemented. Clinging to the idea that the box would go back to normal was the consumers only hope, so they took to Twitter to vent.

However, since announcing the return of the original cutting-edge cutter bar, Glad Wrap have been working exhaustively hoping to meet consumers expectations, with the public having expressed a sense of relief after today's relaunch.
