Thanks for the tip.
I clicked on your first link thinking it would send me to the source, instead was the click again to read the article, MSN.
https://www.allrecipes.com/this-is-what-each-side-of-aluminum-foil-is-for-8745803#:~:text=To%20confirm%20this%20theory%20we,to%20the%20Reynolds%20Brands%20website.
Several paragraphs in the article finally says:
Does It Matter Which Side of the Aluminum Foil You Use?
The short answer is no. Since the matte and gloss are a result of the foil’s contact with the roller, Tiro asserts that there is no difference in the material make-up of both sides of the foil.
Everybody knows the shiny side reflects the deathrays from outer space. If you put the shiny side towards your head, you trap the death rays in your skull and they bounce around in your brain.
Definitely. The smooth side doesn't repel rays as well, if at all.
Sorry, it should be the dull side especially if you have the nonstick variety. This helps keep mind control from sticking to the cap.
But, but, they neglected to mention which side to place towards one’s head when fabricating a shield to help prevent aliens from taking control of our brains.
Shiny side out. It reflects the beams more better.
Shiny side out or everybody will think you don’t know what you’re doing
Totally different stuff.
And for it to be effective it needs a copper foil lining.
Why are so many unnecessary things invented.....inquiring minds see to know.
Bottom line: no difference.
Duh . . .
“And for it to be effective it needs a copper foil lining.”
You sure about that? Copper is pretty darn conductive . . .
No disrespect meant to you, or anyone else. But I’ll wait until Weird Al Yankovic weighs in here.
Categorically false if you’ve ever been camping and made a foil dinner.
If the shiny side is facing outward the food will take significantly longer to cook.
Dull side reflects less heat and lets the heat in and the shiny inside keeps the heat inside cooking the food.
I know that for a fact.
It’s not aliens you need to worry about (except, maybe the Reptilians that run around in human form). It’s the government you need the tinfoil hats for. (Agree with the other posters - shiny side out.)
