You should start your own website entitled

"New uses for tinfoil"

That should attract the right kind of clientele.

Tinfoil people are a pretty friendly lot.

Why do we always say "Tinfoil" when we really mean *Aluminum foil*? :-)


I remember back when I was a child, that's what almost everyone said. It
was wrapped around cigarettes in a package.

But these days, when you can buy aluminum (aluminium for those in the
UK) foil in rolls, almost nobody (nobody I know anyway) still says tinfoil.

I don't know it was ever called "tinfoil"? Was it originally made from
tin? Probably, but I don't know for sure.

Similarly, canned food came in cans made from steel, and still do. They
were called "tin cans" back then and still are.

Here, a bunch of Chinese salesmen, describe their cigarette lining products.
These appear to be alloys.

The breakdown here is a bit weird.

Alloy Cu Si Fe Mn Mg Zn Ti others AL
8011 0.1 0.5 0.6 0.2 0.05 0.10 0.08 0.05

So at least in that case, we get a breakdown of
the "trace elements". Were they put there on purpose,
or not ?

*******

And there's a pretty thin tin sample here - 0.05mm.
Based on the price, I don't think you'll be wrapping
food items in it any time soon.
