I never knew this . . .

I can't believe I never knew this. This was forwarded to me - and it's true!!!!! Why don't they advertise this?

I had to go into the kitchen and check this out for myself. Whoever looks at the end of your aluminum foil box? You know when 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 when I was trying to cover something up.

I'm sharing this with my friends. I hope I'm not the only person that didn't know about this.

LOL...thanks for this...I checked it out and its true...spent about 5 min in my kitchen "popping tabs". Shared it online and with everyone around me at the grocery store, too. ;D

Amazing, isn't it, how some tiny tidbit like this improves our life soooo much ;D

[Jessie]

LOL - I know Jackie, I feel like it's my duty to make sure everyone knows!!!

I e-mailed the Reynolds Company and asked why they don't advertise this . . . their response was only that they've been making them this way since 1996! Geez, 13 years of not knowing!! LOL

wow thanks for letting me know, now i can show my wife next time the roll goes....... well rolling across the floor, yeah i can see it now, i will give her the 'i cant believe you are so clumsy look," then i can pick the roll up and pop the tab and hand it back while i pat her on the head in a real condescending way, making that tch tch tch sound , while i walk away slowly shaking my head from side to side, yes i can see it now..... now i need a tab to keep victorias pants up
