Parafilm is an excellent source of extra wax and plastic, if you aren't getting enough in your normal diet

The best part about a giant Parafilm towel is that you can just stretch it to be as big as you need it to be.

The worst part is when someone tears it off unevenly from the box (...also it's useless for drying off).

You leave for one (1) month(s) to deal with real life, and come back to people declaring their love to you

Instead of money and stability, I chose a few cents and Parafilm. Best decision of my life 💙 Love you Parafilm, thanks for literally holding my life together

With AI everywhere, real human-made art is getting rare. So here’s a little watercolor I painted of my favorite lab essential #Parafilm

Or you could scissors like a civilised person, who is not an asshole to to their labmates, and get a clean cut every time!

Introduced my beloved cat-human to the wonders of Parafilm today. The branded legit stuff, no annoying knock-off version for my Kitty. Cos I'm such a romantic. 😂🤣

I missed it when it happened, but in May there was another entry in the long-running drawn out edit war on the Wiki page for Parafilm over if "edible" should be included in the description

I'm just saying, maybe we should try putting a box of Parafilm in charge of the US. It can't be any worse

A box of Parafilm has the energy of a second gen normal-type Pokémon

With enough Parafilm you can survive the crash caused by having your car full of Parafilm

It's important to note that it's called lab cheese because it's in a laboratory, not because it is made from the milk of a labrador retriever

One of my most deeply held beliefs is that beavers would really appreciate Parafilm. Like, if any animal is gonna like water-proof wrapping film, it's the one that builds dams.

Can't buy Parafilm? Make your own at home.

(It...doesn't seal nearly as well, I'm afraid)

What am I supposed to do, go "Oh no, budget cuts, now I can't buy more Parafilm haha"?

You know, it's really hard to make silly Parafilm jokes when one of the big science-doing countries has decided to just not anymore..

The thing about Parafilm is that it feels like a made up wacky product you would see in a movie

When she was just a girl, she expected clinical sealing film.

She dreamed of Para, Para, Parafilm every time she closed her eyes.

Congratulations! Enjoy your new cardboard tube and remember to bring it the next time Reviewer #2 gets too uppity

I can’t take credit for this alone, but still a special moment ✨
