The power of e-mail.

Feb 04

I  get a ton of fwded e-mails, making me wise to the ways of the world.  Now I know better than to get back in the car while pumping gas, microwave food in plastic containers, or help strangers in need because any of these could kill me. 

But this one was different… I actually learned something new.  Something that I would never have learned if not for the power of e-mail.

Read on:


Whoever looks at the end of your 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.
Well, I would like to share this with you. 
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.
I’m sharing this with my friends. 
I hope I’m not the only person that didn’t know about this.

    That’s news to me! I guess there really are useful things being forwarded and not just hoax chain letters that say “you will die if you don’t send this”.

    Wait a sec, microwaving in plastic is bad?…..maybe I should have sent that chain letter.

    Maybe someone should sent that email to a Reynold’s brand manager…
