Indeed! But it means there's more places for the great lakes to get in when you're standing at the bottom of the Horseshoe Falls!

Food wrap is surprisingly unwaterproof. Layers with small gaps and creases = perfect capilliary action. Then once the water is in, the air doesn't get to it and it can't dry off. Anyone who has dropped...um...water-sensitive matter wrapped in film...into a puddle will attest, it's useless.

Good to know that, thank you for the early warning.
