Do kids not cover their school books in duraseal anymore or was that just a New Zealand thing? (hexbear.net)

Man duraseal was the shit. Buying back to school gear meant buying a roll of Lisa Frank or Space Jam Duraseal and laminating your books with it. It fucking ruled. I'm surprised it's not something I see in office supply stores anymore.

I'm old.

Edit: If it's because it's bad for the environment then that makes sense and I fully support ditching it.

Hell yeah.

I did those and the local ButterKrust bakery sponsored some plain Jane brown ones that had their name on the back at the bottom in small letters. I was super cool so I scratched out the ‘er’ so mine just said Butt Krust.

Yeah in the USA we used to use brown paper shopping bags to cover our school books. By the end of the year it's be all ripped up and shit and covered in drawings like the cool S.
