This is so stinking obvious I laughed at myself when told about it! It was
sent to me in an email.

"I had no idea.....
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 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 warp
roll has jumped out when I was trying to cover something up.

I'm sharing this and I hope I'm not the only person that didn't know about
this"

Yeah, me too

Ok, I am totally amazed!!!!!

My snoman showed me this thread. Took out our boxes of foil & plastic wrap. And we all had fun playing with the boxes.

Of course, it's Mother's day. And my mom, me and my daughter are enjoying a "homemade" lemon drop martini. In my new Martini glasses that I received for "mother's day."

Thanks to Sno for the glasses and the drink. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
