I didn't bother to look at this, either! Isn't this telling? ..and I read food label directions.

My theory - these are items that have sold so well, and we've all had for so long, Reynolds Wrap never bothered to market that "feature".

I'm willing to use that as the excuse for my lack of attention, anyway.

I always tuck the lid flap in so that the foil goes under it and the lid keeps the roll down.

I really have been doing it wrong!

I'm supposed to wear them inside of the house instead of outside in the bright sun.
