Who Knew?

Household Hints Department
Does anyone else know about this?
Have you ever looked at the ends of an aluminum foil box? Probably not. Well, check it out--you will find there the words "PRESS HERE TO LOCK ROLL."
Following these instructions will result in tabs extending into the cardboard roll like twin axles, allowing it to spin freely.
Instead of snagging, tearing and going all to hell as usual, the foil will now smoothly unroll from the box.
It's amazing--I'm looking for excuses to use my aluminum foil!

Yeah, ya know Michigan St. Univ. offers a degree in "packaging". Some of our finest young minds are at work on ever more inventive ways unroll and seal saran wrap. Ya can't just "pull and tear" anymore.
