OMG it's true! chain mail I just received:

A friend sent this to me; I sure didn't know it. I never read the ends of the box. Duhhh. I had to go into the kitchen and check this out for myself. Who ever looks at the end of an 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 covering 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 as I was trying to cover something up.
What a fantastic idea! Now, if someone would just make plastic wrap that didnt stick to itself.

I'm sharing this with my friends who probably didn't know this. If you all ready knew it, delete this message and don't e-mail me and make me feel dumber than I already feel.

1. My dear Kali...
I'll be damned!

I've never looked at the ends of my aluminum foil or saran wrap boxes either...

I'll fix those babies shortly!

Thank you!

4. Yeah, I knew about those.
But I tend to know about lots of things that have almost no importance in the grand scheme of things whatsoever. :P
