Keep the shiny side up, and the greasy side down.

Curses. Foiled again!

[Liz Sour Lemon Friut]

That's a wrap!

I've looked at foil from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's shiny illusions I recall
I really don't know foil at all

It makes a difference if you're using it to make a Kozyrev mirror.

" Does It Matter Which Side of the Aluminum Foil You Use? The short answer is no."

Unlike toilet paper. ( What ? You didn't know ? )

[Pullet Surprise]

Now that Clankie has brought it up, what is the proper side of the toilet paper to have up? The shiny side or the dull side?

Worked with a person who said in her house putting the toilet paper roll on the dispenser-thingy wrong (with the free end at the top or bottom - I forget which she said) was a sin equivalent to spousal domestic battery.

[How DARE you, Greta!]

So you're saying that the non-stick foil rolls can be used as recyclable TP?

One way it reflects the mind control signals, the other way it enhances them.

[Kaige Pharraday]

The heavy duty foil does make a superior tin foil hat.

This takes a little time but if you carefully strip the thin paper inside off several hundred Juicy Fruit gum wrappers you will have enough tin foil to wrap a couple of sandwiches for lunch and cover several ready for baking casseroles.

[Pullet Surprise]

To follow on from mr man tom's post, I take Juicy Fruit gum on camping trips and if I run out of toilet paper I can peel off the paper from the foil wrapper as he describes and use the paper portion for toilet paper. Have to say that it adds a certain je ne sais quoi when the bears or other woodland creatures come sniffing around looking for a meal.
