Did You Know This?

Sometimes life can get way too serious. This is an e-mail we received from a friend, which talks about aluminum foil and Saran wrap.

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. Whoever 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 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. If you already know this, delete this message and don't e-mail me and make me feel dumber than I already feel. If you didn't know this, e-mail me and let me know so I won't feel so dumb.

I hope I'm not the only person that didn't know about this.

Wow. Doesn't take much for some folks to get excited, eh?

But hey - if it made her (?) day to share this, what the heck -- didn't hurt anyone!
