    Aluminum Foil

    I got this in my email this morning, Im ashamed to admit I never noticed this either....just chose to fight with the roll LOL Aaaahhh...life will be so much easier now


    Don't tell me you have known this for years!

    I had to go into the kitchen and check this out for myself. Who
    ever looks at the end of your aluminum foil box?


    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 o f 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 wrap roll has jumped out when I was trying to
    cover something up.

    I'm sharing this with my friends. If you already know this, delete this
    message and don't e-mail me and make me feel dumber than I already feel.

    I hope I'm not the only person that didn't know about this.
    One Big Ass Mistake, America!

    I had no clue about the tabs. When I am not so lazy I will go to the kitchen and check it out. Thats amazing...lol. I had no idea about the saran wrap either. Will check that out as well.
