Wine Bottle Foil

Hells bells, they don't even make a good cheap candy bar with usuable foil wrap any more. But that is to my advantage when it comes to the blood sugar levels.

That's where nieces and nephews come in handy "I'll buy you a Cadbury but I get to unwrap it." Cheers,

So the next time you're at the Dentist, ask him for some of the lead foil from the X-ray films they've used. Dentists usually keep the lead to be returned to the film company, but if you ask nicely...

My bag of foil has lasted for years.

Plastic wrap and a screw top? Mine comes in a plastic bag that's got a tap on it all incased with a cardboard box.

Jeeze in some locales that would sound like "What some candy, kid?".

The band/cheerleaderm etc, fund raiser candy bars don't even come in good foil wrap any more. You can't even by Wrigleys gum anymore and peel the foil off the wrapper.

Modeling supplies are getting hard to come by lately!

There's always the chocolate coins. The foil used to wrap those is pretty good, just rather small, about 1" (@25mm) in diameter.

Around here they hand us the grapes and a glass and tell us to stomp our own...

How about the (thick) foil on a tube of testors glue...for those throwbacks like meself that still use it sometimes...

Some guy complained about those wine cartons........

It says on the side 'Lasts for up to six months'

But it never does...............

I remember when the neat thing to use when making a battle-damaged section of a/c was to use the metal from a toothpaste tube. How long's that been? 25 years?

Is Thursday a good year?

****** Ah Ha! I just knew there was a reason I kept on hoarding those little tubes of glue that came in a lot of the Japanese kits.........just couldn't bear to throw them away. Glue's probably dry but the foil is still there........ Ta da! Now to build something that will require seat belts and stuff like that = problem No.1. :-) Cheers - Jim.

Depends on whether you are referring to the contents "Born on" or "dead soldier" date.

Ahh, Tuesday, an excellent vintage...Kim M

Or the tubes that toothpaste came in. You stood a better chance of getting most of the paste out before you threw the package away. Plastic makes the job harder.
