Been while since I bought waxed paper, is it cheaper than parchment paper? I’m assuming it must be or why wouldn’t you just use parchment paper instead?
Parchment is better for heat, wax paper is better with sticky stuff. My mom uses it to roll cookie dough into cylinders. Then she can refrigerate them and unroll it cleanly to cut into discs so she doesn’t have to form dough balls by hand. If you need a permanently-non-stick, moldable surface, wax paper is pretty good.

Oh cool. That’s a great example of a usecase. Thanks
Don’t know, don’t use baking paper at all
Wax and parchment paper have VERY similar branding in the US, to the point where it’s easy to confuse the two
