at least for me...

is the dreaded MEAT MAXI PAD.

This thing just grosses me out like you wouldn't believe. I just peeled it off a ring of sausage (with foot long metal tongs) and had to do my best to keep my lunch down.

Why is that thing soooooo gross?!?!?!?!?

GAG!!!!

Meat maxi pad!!!! omg you crack me up!

It's never really grossed me out, but seriously, what is it's purpose???? Does it keep the meat/chicken fresh? It's in every single package of meat/chicken that I buy, so it must have a purpose. Anyone know what it is?

Absorbs any 'juices' that the meat gives up while in the package, so that it doesn't drip all over you and in the meat case.

OMG, so it IS like a maxi pad!!! omg that's so funny! I thought it kept the meat fresh or whatever.

you know i never really thought about it -- i've been cooking since i was like 15 -- that it never occurred to me that its gross.

but i agree with Tilde---cleaning the drain out is grosser to me.

bwahahaha

I have a solution for you both:

OXO Silicone Sink Strainer

You just invert it, and the stuff just comes out!!! No touching the sink goo!!! It's fantastic

Ahh Nic, I have this and I absolutely LOVE it!!!!!

i gotta get myself one of these....i absolutely HATE cleaning out the drain!!! i'm glad to see i'm not the only one! i too make DH do it when it's really gross

that thing looks great i must order it!!!!!! i have the plain mesh one and its so nasty.

DH gags when i leave my little hair strainer thingie in the shower he asked me one day if i was SUPPOSED to be losing that much hair he was genuinely concerned. . .
