The great debate is it tin foil or
0:04
aluminum foil? Do you ever wonder why we
0:06
still call it tin foil? It hasn't been
0:08
made of tin in nearly a century. Before
0:11
the 1940s, real tin foil was used to
0:14
wrap food, but it gave everything a
0:16
slightly metallic taste. Then aluminum
0:19
foil took over. It was cheaper, lighter,
0:22
and didn't flavor your leftovers.
0:25
But the name tin foil kind of stuck.

Maybe like that one aunt who still says
0:30
ice box. Although I don't say ice box,
0:32
but I do say tin foil. It's aluminum
0:35
now, but nostalgia lasts forever. Tell
0:38
me in the comments, do you say tinfoil
0:40
or aluminum foil? I'd love to hear from
0:42
you. And for more food history and
