Posted on 02/25/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lock Tabs on Aluminum Foil and Plastic Wrap Boxes By Tom, Madison, WI (Guest Post) Okay Deeli, Your idea is great, right up until you suggest holding the tabs on both ends of the package to avoid having the roll fall out. Do I then pull out the foil with my teeth? :-) Posted on 02/05/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lock Tabs on Aluminum Foil and Plastic Wrap Boxes By fionarx (99) Profile Contact Yup..ran to the kitchen drawer and sure enough even the generic store brand has the tabs AND IT WORKS. Thanks for passing this along. Who knew?

Thanx!!! Posted on 05/23/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lock Tabs on Aluminum Foil and Plastic Wrap Boxes By gonecrazyhunting (35) Profile Contact DUH! I laughed so hard when I read the post and responses to date. Now I don't feel QUITE as dumb. The really bad part is that I used to know about the tabs but just forgot when I bought the next roll! Sometimes I feel like I'm getting more dense the older I get (both physically & mentally)! Thanks for the reminder! ;0) Posted on 05/20/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lock Tabs on Aluminum Foil and Plastic Wrap Boxes By Lynn (Guest Post) LOL great tip and I am wondering why I never saw that before either. Posted on 05/20/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lock Tabs on Aluminum Foil and Plastic Wrap Boxes By Jean (Guest Post) I never had a problem with the roll jumping out of the box. I did try the tabs but had more problems. At times, it was harder to pull out when I used them.

Here's the response: Thank you for your inquiry regarding Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. In our continuing efforts to meet the needs of our consumers, our cartons have end locks to hold the rolls in place. This feature was added in 1996. Press in the perforated tabs on each end of the carton before your first use. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

I feel so dumb. Thanks for a great tip, Posted on 05/18/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lock Tabs on Aluminum Foil and Plastic Wrap Boxes By mary (Guest Post) I received an email about this, and immediately looked in my drawer to lock my tabs. Then, forwarded the info to all my friends. I assumed I had been missing this for years. Cleaned out the camping box and found an old roll of alum. foil.....probably 10 years old.....NO locking tabs! So, now I don't feel like I've missed this forever :) Posted on 05/18/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lock Tabs on Aluminum Foil and Plastic Wrap Boxes By tthompson (117) Contact I laughed when I read this because I can't tell you how many rolls of foil and cling wrap I bought before I noticed the tabs on the boxes a few months back! as some one said it must be the fact that no one ever reads directions anymore! Posted on 05/17/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lock Tabs on Aluminum Foil and Plastic Wrap Boxes By Cyinda (1317) Profile Contact Guess it's cause we never read the directions! ...*smile* Thanks for the tip! Posted on 05/16/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lock Tabs on Aluminum Foil and Plastic Wrap Boxes By pigeon toes (96) Contact I immediately went to the kitchen drawer and pressed all the tabs on the rolls. A big Mahalo Nui Loa to you. Posted on 05/16/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
