This appeared in my house today. No idea what it is, or where it came from!
DH thinks it's a condom wrapper. I have no idea? Doesn't look like that to me, it's small, more papery than made of foil..
Any ideas??

It's like one of those seasoning satchets you get in fajita packs or that kind of thing. Does it smell inside?

AlmostAJillSandwich · 19/08/2019 20:34

If he's insisting its a condom wrapper ask him who the hell he's used it with then to be so certain thats what it is, as it wasn't with you!

Might shut him up.

MothertotheLordsofmisrule · 19/08/2019 20:40

Wipe packet or maybe those disposable gloves you get with expanding foam?

LittleMy20 · 19/08/2019 20:47

Noodle seasoning sachet

littlepaddypaws · 19/08/2019 20:47

has it been opened ?

LuckyLuckyWoman · 19/08/2019 20:49

Looks like the wrapper for the disposable glasses cleaning wipes...….

or a condom wrapper :)

Racingthorn · 19/08/2019 20:51

What about those sachets you find in new handbags?

MsJaneAusten · 19/08/2019 20:54

Has anyone other than you ever owned the sofa?

GameSetMatch · 19/08/2019 20:55

Hmmm, I would of said a soy sauce sachet.

Okurrrrrrrr · 19/08/2019 20:58

@jimmyhill Grin

Why is your DH so insistent on it being a condom wrapper? Surely that reflects on him as well?

Heymummee · 19/08/2019 21:06

It looks like a hand wipe. Or glasses wipe. I get some in little packets like that.

GabsAlot · 19/08/2019 21:08

its not pot noodle theyre white coloured now

neighbourssitu · 19/08/2019 21:12

A wipe for screen protector? When fitting a new one.

has it been opened ?

No, it's still shut

DishingOutDone · 19/08/2019 21:17

has it been cut open or torn? I favour (a) licking it and then (b) deciding it contained a moist tissue.

We ALWAYS lick it on MN.

SeaSaltandLime · 19/08/2019 21:26

Condom wrappers are all foil - no plasticy inner so it can't be that.

I think either a packet for a glasses wipe, teabag or something along those lines.
I use a oil treatment on my hair that comes in a pack like that - it can be really tough to tear because of the plastic inner.

DDs magazines sometimes come with plasticine which comes in the same sort of wrapper.

SeaSaltandLime · 19/08/2019 21:28

Although @DishingOutDone is right.

You have to lick it, else MN will ban you.

damnitdamnit · 19/08/2019 21:33

Condom wrapper would have 2 edges with teeth. My vote would be salt for crisps.

Jellybeansincognito · 19/08/2019 21:42

Looks like something from cheap noodles/ season and shake crisps. 100% not a condom wrapper

overnightangel · 19/08/2019 21:53

Contained Heroin, 100%

TarragonSauce · 19/08/2019 22:02

Def condom wrapper. For people with square penises. And going by the scale in your last photo, very large square penises.

It's like a cheap version of one of the little lemon moist wipes you get with KFC. Do you live near a Morley's chicken shop perhaps?

DishingOutDone · 19/08/2019 22:25

Yeeeesss!! I was thinking KFC. Moist toilette wipe!

Its a very neat heroin wrapper. Definitely lick it then get proof.

The only time you don't lick something on MN is if its likely to move (of its own accord) in which case you poke it and see what happens - normally it then comes after you really quickly, fans out a lot of legs and undulates or lets out a foul seepage. Or all 3.

But what you have there is a licker.

(OP sounds like a newbie not knowing about licking and poking so I am helping her)

Mascarponeandwine · 19/08/2019 22:49

I have some of these. Each one contains a mosquito bracelet - I bought 10 and each bracelet is contained in a sachet like this. You wear one on each wrist / ankle and they repel mozzies when on holiday.

TarragonSauce · 19/08/2019 23:06

Except in the case of those anti-mozzie bracelets, they definitely do not do what it says on the tin.

HariboHippo · 19/08/2019 23:11

This looks like what my gel polish wipes come in - you can get a box of loads of them off eBay etc quite cheap as they are not branded.
