Reynolds Wrap Trick

How often does this happen - you are right in the middle of pulling some foil out and the whole roll comes out of the box?!

Did you know Reynolds Wrap boxes have push tabs on each side to lock in the roll? It's right there on the 2 ends just staring us in the face: "Press here to lock end."

These tabs allow you to take foil off the roll without the roll falling out! Ingenious!

Thanks to Karyn for pointing this out to me! For more WFMW ideas, head on over to Rocks In My Dryer.
