a friend sent this to me and i sure did not know it. never read the ends of the box. duh

Well, I'm not telling everyone my age, as most of you already know...BUT...I had to go into the kitchen and check this out for myself. Who ever looks at the end of your aluminum foil box? What a fantastic idea. Now, if someone would just make plastic wrap that didnt 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. The darn roll always comes out at the wrong time.

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.

You're right. I've never noticed it before. Keeps the roll from coming out. Thats neat! I hate when the roll kept coming out when I was trying to tear it off. And it only took me twenty-six years to notice it. I still wouldn't have if you hadn't posted. Kinda slow ain't I? Thanks.

LOL, it should be on the top in big, bold letters. I don't know why they keep it such a secret. ???

I read that on either this site or another one last week and had to go look. I even called my Mom and Grandmother and neither of them had ever noticed it before. Shows how observant we are.
