Wrap it up?

I got this email from my mom. I know that this blog doesn't offer cutting edge, hot off the press advice for those of you out there but I have to say I was pretty impressed with this tid bit:

I had to go into the kitchen and check this out for myself. Who ever looks at the end of your aluminum foil box? 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.

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 as does Saran wrap. I can't count how many times the Saran wrap roll has jumped out when I was trying to cover something up.

Good to know....

Ah ha ha ha... that is funny... I know what you mean. I do have some news for you though... that has been like that for a decade or so lol. It has been around since I was a kid but I still forgot to do it so it jumps out once and then never again! :)

Hey, you're right! I just tried it, and I seriously had no idea that was there. Very handy. Really, though, am I to be blamed for not scrutinizing the side of my box of plastic wrap very carefully?
