I Didn't Know This!!!!
A friend sent this to me and I sure did not know it. Never read
the ends of the box. Duh!
Well, I'm not telling everyone my age, as most of you already
know...BUT...I had to go into the kitchen and check this out for myself. Who
ever looks at the end of your aluminum foil box? What a fantastic idea. Now,
if someone would just make plastic wrap that didn't stick to itself.
I've been using aluminum foil for more years than I care to remember.
Great stuff, but sometimes it can be a pain. You know, like when you are in
the middle of doing something and you try to pull some foil out and the roll
comes out of the box. Then you have to put the roll back in the box and
start over. The darn roll always comes out at the wrong time.
Well, I would like to share this with you. Yesterday I went to throw out
an empty Reynolds foil box and for some reason I turned it and looked at the
end of the box. And written on the end it said, 'Press here to lock end.'
Right there on the end of the box is a tab to lock the roll in place. How
long has this little locking tab been there? I then looked at a generic
brand of aluminum foil and it had one, too. I then looked at a box of Saran
wrap and it had one too! I can't count the number of times the Saran warp
roll has jumped out when I was trying to cover something up.
I'm sharing this with my friends that did not know this. If you all ready
know this, Then please don't tell me and make me feel dumber than I already feel. If you didn't know this, let me know so I
won't feel so dumb. I hope I'm not the only person that didn't know about
this.

Re: I Didn't Know This!!!!
I surely didn't, and I checked both my generic Saran Wrap and Aluminum Foil boxes and they both have the tab...the generic Foil actually says
'PUSH IN TO LOCK ROLL'

Re: I Didn't Know This!!!!
On my generic Saran Wrap it just had the perforated outline for the tab.... but it already is making a big difference as I've to use both earlier and didn't have any problems.
