Re: Aluminum foil bandit
Tip from Peaches Kitchen...Lock that Foil and grease that Pig so the bandits will give up fast.
DID YOU KNOW THIS??
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. Recently I learned that on the end of a Reynolds foil box it says, 'Press here to lock end'. Right there on the end of the box is a tab to lock the roll in place.
I then looked at a generic brand of aluminum foil and it had one, too. I checked 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.
How long has this little locking tab been there? Why haven't the Reynolds foil Ladies told us about this in their funny commercials? Check out your boxes and pass this handy tip along. I'm sharing this with U cuz I did not know this. I hope I'm not the only person that didn't know about this.

I just checked and my aluminum foil has it as does Clean Wrap but Clean Wrap has no indication as what those circles are for on the ends of the box. Surprisingly, Saran Wrap doesn't have them! Maybe my roll is old as I far prefer the Clean Wrap.
