Foil: A Quick Wrap-up!

Tin foil, once the go-to hat material for conspiracy theorists and amateur aliens, first hit the scene in the late 1800's, wrapping up chocolate bars and sandwiches like a cozy little blanket. By the mid 20th century, aluminum foil came along, stealing the spotlight with its shiny charm and its superior ability to keep leftovers mysteriously fresh. Today, while tin foil may be a bit outdated, its still there for your impromptu space helmet or to protect your thoughts from intrusive aliens during family gatherings.
