You are probably smarter than I am, but I didn't know this.
I received this email from a friend today. .
Darned if that little tab isn't there ... on both ends yet!!
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'm sharing this with my friends that did not know this. I hope I'm
not the only person that didn't know about this.

It may be easier to ask who DID know this because I surely didn't! Thanks.

Another tip is to tear from the bottom up and not the top down. Tears eavenly every time.
