Question Wonder Wipes

[wolf5150]

Guys
I've been using Wonder Wipes for a few weeks and I have one question ...

Why is each wipe so big ?

1/4 size would be ideal for my use and I'd get a lot more from the same tub.
One wipe after a gig and I'm throwing away an almost clean sheet, such a waste.

They're a fantastic product though.

I agree. It is a shame to waste such a large wipe. Makes you want to cut each wipe in quarters ad then return remaining pieces to the container.

I vote for 4x the quantity of smaller pieces.

I think it depends on which ones you're talking about. I think the string cleaner wipes could stand to be smaller, but not the fretboard conditioner or instrument polish.

Sorry my bad. it is the string wipes I'm talking about.

Sorry my bad. it is the string wipes I'm talking about.

No problem! I do kinda agree with this idea, though. Unless I do ALL of my guitars at the same time, one string cleaner wipe is overkill, even for a couple guitars.

I'm betting it all boils down to efficiency in production. They use the same size wipes & containers for all of the different kinds of wonder wipes. The only difference is the liquid which is on each kind. This means, they can produce all 3 kinds on the same line, then split them up by type when they get the liquid portion and subsequent labeling. It would be expensive to have one of them be a different size than the other. It would take retooling to cut them differently, and probably a complete reconfiguration of the production facility.

It just doesn't seem cost-effective to produce them separately.
