#SWTPD - My wife just asked me to turn the tin foil over so the food doesn’t touch the shiny side before going in the fridge.
She was very confused that I didn’t care either way.

@chrisgardner Can you expand on this? Is this about how to wrap food in foil? Or something else? What is the underlying theory at play?
@siracusa My wife is adamant that any food that comes in contact with tin foil must *not* be touching the shiny side. “Shiny side out” as she has just informed me.
This goes for leftovers, sandwiches in the car, or covering an open container.
9 years we’ve been married and it’s the first time it’s come up. I can’t say I’ve ever actively considered this.
This also assumes that tin foil around the world has a shiny side. It’s does in the UK and in France where I now live.
Is that weird?
@chrisgardner What’s the underlying theory? Is it that the shiny side needs to be facing out to better reflect heat or something?
(Yes, aluminum foil in the US also has a shiny side and a slightly more dull side.)
@siracusa no underlying theory whatsoever as far as I can see. Unless “shiny side out” is a theory… who can say?
