I had that same revelation decades ago, and always keep a roll in the junk drawer.

One day, I was out with my father-in-law, and I saw a twist-tie roll for sale and bought it for him. It was only a couple of bucks, but he received that gift like it was a bag of gold. He immediately thought of how handy it would be.

Funny how simple things like that can excite us when we get older.
