An email from my friend...

I just read this email from from my friend Julie. It was sent to her by her mom.

If any of you guys tell me you already knew this I will REALLY feel like a dummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who ever looks at the ends of your aluminum foil box? What a fantastic idea. (go look).
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.

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. Go on, go look at your boxes!


Now being me I frist think that this is a joke until I went and looked at my foil box and sure enough there is a tab on each end that you are supposed to push in to keep the darn roll from popping out of the box!!!!! How come I never noticed that before??
