Oct 24, 2026, 2:16 AMMy husband and I don’t fight about a lot of things, but one of our biggest contentions is how he calls aluminum foil "tin foil" (I know the Brits would say "it's 'actually aluminium...'") but he just one-upped me by saying "I believe the scientific term is... "fun foil..." 😂🎆
@Alice one does not wear a fun foil hat
@Alice LOVE the dymo labels on your spices!
Oct 24, 2026, 2:27 AM@markc568 🤣 It's like my late '90s punk rock zine spice rack.
Oct 24, 2026, 3:01 AM@ChuckMcManis @markc568 So, not possible without replacing the labels. The slots are squares at approximately 45 degree angles so it would only be perfect if the labels were placed at multiples of 45 degrees.
Because of this, I just embrace whichever resulting angle works best.
@Alice Now I’m wondering about “NO BAGEL”. Flavor? Warning? Is everything else BAGEL by default?
Oct 24, 2026, 3:41 AM@dmmcf 😂 It's "everything but the bagel" seasoning but I was trying to save space so I wrote "no bagel."

@Alice We called this silver paper in my house. You get some odd looks when you say that. Maybe I should use fun foil from now on.
@Alice Uranium foil never took off.
@Alice
I need to see what this fancy embossed foil looks like. Please, Alice. Think of the children. :Pumpkingoose:
@Alice No bagel?

Oct 24, 2026, 5:53 AM@Alice I always call it tin foil, I always thought that was a British 1970s thing.
@Alice "Curses! Foiled again!" shouted Snidely Whiplash as he exited the stage.
@Alice
Got to admit that "fun foil" is catchy, and heck, it really captures something about the essence of the stuff.
@Alice Us brits would call it tin foil too!
@Alice
Your spices are not in alphabetical order.
I have to go lie down now.
Oct 24, 2026, 3:54 PM@Burn_this_ That is very intentional. They're categorized by the way that I use them.
@Alice My (now late) grandmother was as British as could be & she always called it tinfoil.
Oct 24, 2026, 8:11 PM@ImpossibleUmbrella Yeah. My commentary wasn't on British people calling it tin foil vs. aluminum foil, but about British people calling it aluminium vs. aluminum.
@Alice I grew up with it being called tin foil. I know my grandma called it that. I think my dad still does.
Oct 24, 2026, 8:12 PM@crdfilm Yeah. I realize it's an old timey throwback. I just get annoyed because it hasn't been made with tin for a VERY long time.
