ITEMS IN THIS VIDEO:

Whatever you call it, be it plastic wrap, cling film, cling wrap or food wrap, is a thin plastic film typically used for sealing food items in containers to keep them fresh over a longer period of time. Plastic wrap, typically sold on rolls in boxes with a cutting edge, clings to many smooth surfaces and can thus remain tight over the opening of a container without adhesive or other devices. Common plastic wrap is roughly 0.5 mils, or 12.5 microns, thick. Plastic wrap's history is built on a laboratory error and serendipity. Plastic wrap was invented in 1953[citation needed] by a scientist who was trying to make a hard plastic cover for his car; his experiment was completely unsuccessful but he then found the usefulness of plastic wrap which he happened to create instead. The original commercially produced cling wrap material was Saran, the commercial name for polyvinylidene chloride (PVdCl). The material was given approval for direct dry food contact and for paperboard coating for contact with fatty and aqueous foods. In Australia, the original cling wrap material was polyethylene with a "stickifier" in the form of edible gum. The product was introduced under the brand name "Glad" in 1966.

Aluminum (or Aluminium) foil is aluminum prepared in thin metal leaves, with a thickness less than 0.2 millimeters (8 mils), thinner gauges down to 0.006 mm (0.2 mils) are also commonly used. In the USA, foils are commonly gauged in mils. The foil is pliable, and can be readily bent or wrapped around objects. Thin foils are fragile and are sometimes laminated to other materials such as plastics or paper to make them more useful. Aluminum foil supplanted tin foil in the mid 20th century. Annual production of aluminum foil was approximately 800,000 tonnes (880,000 tons) in Europe and 600,000 tonnes (660,000 tons) in the USA in 2003. Approximately 75% of aluminum foil is used for packaging of foods, cosmetics, and chemical products, and 25% used for industrial applications (e.g. thermal insulation, cables and electronics). In North America, aluminum foil is known as aluminum foil. It is also sometimes called Reynolds wrap after Reynolds Metals, the leading manufacturer in North America. In the United Kingdom and United States it is, informally, widely called tin foil, for historical reasons. Metallic films are sometimes mistaken for aluminum foil, but are actually polymer films coated with a thin layer of aluminum.

@Bubblywaters07 Oh wow! I def have to do some research and see what I can come up with for that one. Thanks for the great question Ginia :)

[EasyLunchboxes]

@priorfatgirl I know! It was a big "DUH" when I found out too. Like, who ever looks at the sides of a foil or plastic wrap box? Easy to miss.... - Kelly

@StartsWithTheHeart Thanks! I started doing the shower cap thing when my husband and I lived in NY 25 years ago and we were too broke to buy plastic wrap. Old habits die hard, lol. - Kelly
