Helpful hint for foil and saran wrap boxes..

[Shada]

This is so silly and yet so important!
How many of did not know of this? I know I did not! I just read of this in a recipe/tip forum I am a member of, then got this email tonight.


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.



-------------------------------------

Just checked.....oh my goodness, tabs really ARE there ;-) With all the tech machinery, why don't THEY just tuck the tabs in as part of the packaging???????


I hope I'm not the ONLY person that didn't know this. If you already do, then 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 think I saw this on YT, but still haven't checked it out yet...has anyone else?

[Marilyn]

I just checked, and the tabs are there. I never knew either. Now I feel dumb. Why did no one ever tell us???? and when did they appear?? I don't think they've been there too long. Wow, learn something new every day!!!

[Chandra Amaya]

I didn't know this either.... Well, the things we miss that make life go smoother

[judy]

It's always the little things!

[Gina]

Count me in too. I never knew this either. Is it something new? I just went to check my box of Sarah Wrap and yep it was on the outside on the sides.. I looked at the generic brand of aluminum foil there weren't any.

[Marilyn]

I looked at the store brand for plastic wrap, foil and parchment paper. They all have the tabs. Strange.........

[Janet]

I still haven't checked yet, but ya know...I think I'll save my search for at the grocery store. Can you imagine me getting everyone that goes by to check it out???....LOL.

[Marilyn]

Oh, wow, you could be a roving reporter Janet and poll everyone in the store to see who knew and who didn't.

[Dobie]

Would you believe me if I said I knew they were there?

No - I wouldn't believe me either!

LOL
Thank you!

I had no idea there were tabs. My foil and saran wrap both have them. Thanks for the info., Shada.

I didn't know they were there either. I looked and, sure enough, they were there!!! Thanks!!!

I looked on both ends of saran and tinfoil and I DIDN't see tabs?? Wonder why I'm the odd ball out?

[judy]

I say bring it back Taurus! Tell them you're returning it because it has no tabs.

I'm sure they know nothing about these tabs. That should make their day interesting.
