    Well DUH......

     Look what I got in an email today..... unbelieveable! 

     

     

    Whoever thought to read the foil box to know how to use it???????

     

    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 with my friends that did not know this.  If you all ready know this, delete this message and don’t e-mail me and make me feel dumber than I already feel.  If you didn’t know this, e-mail me and let me know so I won’t feel so dumb.
    I hope I’m not the only person that didn’t know about this.
     
    So of course I jumped up and checked, and of course my saran wrap and reynolds BOTH had locking tabs.

    Does it make me weird, that I actually knew that?

    Re: Well DUH......

    I feel like an idiot. Last night I was yelling at the foil because it fell out and hit me on the toe...haha.

    But I just fixed it, and I can't believe that I'm excited to tell my husband about it. I'm such a dork.

     PS Jessie~yes you are weird!! haha, just kidding

     I actually knew this and  only because a Master Guns that was in one of Ricks units in Hawaii years and years and years ago was getting on to one of his Marines during a family day cook out kind of thing (he was yelling at him "even the monkeys know that one son") hahaha (I didn't)  Huh?...I went home that day and quickly checked it out.  Learned something new that day.
