Then And Now # 63 Reynolds Wrap

Good old Reynold's Wrap aluminum foil. The ad seen in the photo below is the coolest - a double page spread from a 1955 magazine - the pages are actually made of foil on one side!
A scanned close-up:

Pardon the scribbles on this 1956 advertisement; this particular magazine has a lot of them!

Tips for tastier turkey in this ad from 1966. Is it crazy that I still remember the little song from their commercials years ago? "Reynold's Wrap is oven-tempered, for flexible strength."

And here, from 1975, their Heavy Duty foil in a larger size - the better to wrap your fish for freezing, my dear!

As we approach Earth Day , I applaud Reynolds for now offering foil made with 100% recycled aluminum:

My calendars say Earth Day is the 22nd, so let's make all week Earth Week! I love aluminum foil, it is so useful. Glad to see they are recycling it, I didn't know that. Love T
