This is amazing! You must share with your Mother.

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

I got this in an email. Who ever looks at the end of an 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.

Written on the end of a Reynolds foil box are the words: Press here to lock end.

Right there on the View image end of the box is a tab to lock the roll in place. How long has this little locking tab been there? Generic brands of aluminum foil and plastic wraps have 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 hope I'm not the only person who didn't know about this. I will say this though, when I tried it last night, it was really hard to push open. Does anyone else have this problem?

Happy New Year!

Lol! I had no idea either...but um, I just hold down the cover while I pull the wrap out. No jumping rolls for me.

Ha Ha.I think its richly ironic that a device made to help out befuddled Saran wrap/ foil users is virtually unkown to most users (including me). Truly Amazing. :) The makers of the Reynolds Foil need to higher a new product artist to make these kinds of things more...visible.

LOL. When I told my mom this, I don't think she knew what I was talking about or if she believed me. LOL.
