My chemistry lab partner back in the late 80s was from the Reynolds family.

He was a good student and not a spoiled rich kid.

Rich but not spoiled.

Yes.

Copper gives you protection against electromagnetic fields that is second to none.

It is also anti-bacterial so if they try to get you with their brain germs you are ready.

It does not protect against mind worms though.

There is no protection against that.

Keep your flame thrower by your side.

I used to be a mental health professional. For the little plaque with my name outside my office I had that pic of Weird Al. Thats the precise moment of the song that he’s singing “Seems a little crazy” :-)

Almost all my thoughts are the intrusive kind....they keep on escaping and causing all sorts of problems so I actually need something like this to keep them inside like Magneto in reverse.

>> Since the matte and gloss ... there is no difference in the material make-up

with the exception the material makeup of each surface is different to the naked eye

Also the shiny side should be up for your tin foil hat.

Ha! I would never use aluminum on my tin-foil hats. Only the best tin for me!

After reflection, I have determined that the ‘dull’ side is for bland foods, you know dull. On the other hand, the “shiny” side is for the exciting foods!

I prefer shiny-side out for my tin foil hat. That’s really a must...

I think that has merit.

Varies with whether it is in coals or similar (contact heat transfer) or heated by radiated heat. The shiny does reflect radiated heat a bit better

I also think that the dull side is a little more likely to leach aluminum into food, especially more caustic foods.

Suspect it is not a huge deal either way, however.

Sometimes cooking slower might be good. Sometimes not. People afraid of aluminum might want food on the shiny happy people side.

If you want your homemade Faraday Cage to prevent Remote Wiping from your phone, there is probably a right way and a wrong way to use the foil.

I just buy it for it’s taste!
I love the crunchy texture it has when I chew on it!
Makes my teeth, what’s left of them, shiny and bright!
