Aluminum Foil - Is it just me?

[Tina]

I just opened a new box of Reynolds Wrap this week. I bought the same box (200) that I always do, but it seems different. The foil seems to be thinner and flimsier. It tears very easily. Am is the only one who's noticed this??

All I know is Reynold's just introduced a new one, Release.

The new Release foil is all I use now. Food slides right off, almost too easily, so you need to be careful!

I haven't tried the new one yet - but I have a coupon!!

I noticed that it is really flimsly. Actually if you go up on count it gets thicker. The new foil that the other people are talking about is really good, I just bought it the other day. It is really slippery, you do have to be careful

Go up on count? I thought that 200 was the biggest roll you could buy?

 

[cheshirecat13]

Sorry. I think that is the biggest you can buy in the grocery store. I buy my stuff at a whole sale place like BJ's, Costcos. Maybe I get an industrial size. I did not think about that before I wrote.

There are two types of aluminum foil: regular and heavy duty. Maybe you had the "heavy duty" before.

Tina: I agree. Sometimes I buy dollar store foil and it's really horrible...thin and flimsy. DH brought home a roll of Reynolds from the store and I thought OH GOODY.....nice foil. Not so. It was just like dollar store foil. Our supermarket store brands are superior to Reynolds now.
