I received this email from a friend today. And, being the doubting Thomas I am, went immediately to my roll of Reynolds wrap. Darned if that little tab isn't there ... on both ends yet!!.........and it's even on the store brands too! DUH!!!!!!! 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 wrap roll has jumped out when I was trying to cover something up.

I had to look too. And your WRONG..... here in Canada eh it would mean you would have to add those words in French and English and the cost would be to high for translation. I don't know that for sure but I checked every box of aluminum, saran wrap and even the wax paper and it is not on there for us.
then again we are a little behind in most things.

I wish I had read this last night. Then I would not have had to chase a roll of foil across the floor.
