Perhaps this has been everywhere by now, but it was news to me & thought I'd
share it.

Subject: Fw: I can't believe I never knew this







A friend sent me this. It was news to me! My foil had
this, but my waxed paper did not.

Don't you all even try and act like you all ready knew
this either.



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.

This is a better kept secret than where the WMD's were/are/weren't. And I am

If it's any consolation, I'm 64 and I only learned this last year. <g>

Took a roll of foil off the shelf and checked the ends yesterday when
we were in town shopping. Sure enough, there were the little tabs,
along with the instructions for their use. If I ever looked at the end
of a box of foil before in my life, I obviously never read it. I
learned something new and I'm 74 ;-).

Wow! Finally someone on rfp who is older than me, I'm only 69. Ain't it
nice to learn something new. Called both my kids, in their mid-forties,
and told them about the tabs, neither of them knew about it. Daughter
called her grown kids and told them and they were amazed.

Wonder why none of us ever noticed this before.

It's sort of a combination of taking something for granted or assuming the
not so obvious, and "who'd a thunk it?"
