How did I make it 32 years without realizing this?

Calimama replied: Wow I had no idea!

paradisemommy replied: I have to run downstairs to see if mine has it (not that i don't believe you) but i JUST had the roll come flying out at me and it ticks me off every time!! THANKS for the tip!!

~Roo'sMama~ replied: LOL Dh and I had no idea until like two weeks ago either.... someone at work told him and he had to check ours at home to see if she was right. I'd never noticed them before.

Crystalina replied: You are not alone. I had no clue!

Jamison'smama replied: I had no idea

ETA, I just went downstairs and punched the tabs on my foil and my saran wrap....who knew? Good grief!

I so have to laugh at this. My granny taught me about the tabs when I was 10.

I know they are there...I just never use them!

Sam & Abby's Mom replied: After reading this thread, I checked ours and sure enough........... there are tabs ! Who would have thunk it ? I showed DH and he thought I was the coolest thing since sliced bread. LOL Then I had to fess up and tell him I read about it on the internet.
