Tinfoil Secrets

Stuff you didn't know
How many of you call this tinfoil?

Rodger,

Isn't it great when you discover something that's new to you, like the handy paint mitt? Reading my snopes update today, I discovered something new to me.
Sure enough, went to the kitchen drawer and discovered this 'secret' for myself....on ALL the boxes of rolling what-evers. 
Palm to forehead moment, for certain! :D

Did you already know this forever and a day?

No, I didn't know, so it's quite a revelation.  Now that I do know, however,  I don't care.  Besides, I couldn't get my tabs to work.

It doesn't require elbow grease, but a bit o' thumb will do. Or. The handle of a spoon, etc. I've been complaining for my lifetime that these companies should create someway to keep the dayum rolls from falling out of the box, dammit! ooops

Speaking of stuff you did not know. Michael Kinsley is on C-SPAN... who knew he had Parkinsons? It's priceless. He is still articulate, but he now has childlike mannerisms. It's like an Art Linkletter interview. Liberals Say the Darndest Things.

Wha...! Well, I never. I'm on the way to the kitchen right now to engage the locks on all my rollie stuff. Thanks Juice!

I'm going to take a nap now.

I don't know, maybe I missed something.....I thought it was aluminum-foil....not tinfoil.

Wow. Get really old and you can still learn new stuff. Of coarse I had to go to the galley and check fer myself. Yep, the foil has it. The Glad Press'nSeal has little plastic thingy's on the end taht hold the plastic wrap in place and if you roll out too much, you can twist the little cap thingy's and roll it back up. The stretch-tite plastic wrap has nothing.
