Which do you say? I've always called it Aluminum Foil, but every now and then I hear someone say "Tin Foil" and it throws me off. I'd expect it from a 85 year old woman, but not someone in their 30s.

If you're making a hat, only aluminum ones will keep the aliens at bay.

Tin foil when I'm around family during the holidays.

Aluminum foil when I'm out with friends.

"Tin Horn" would be a great brand name for aluminum foil.

Some art of some butt ugly fugger like Castro on the label.

Well, its made out of aluminum, not tin so why anyone would call it tin foil, I have no idea. Did it used to be made of tin?

Actually, I just say foil too. It isn't like I have several other types that someone would be confused about which one I want.

if you make stained glass you might use copper foil, and confusion ensues. HAH.

i vote for aluminum foil.

I always called that cheap crap Ding Dong foil, it always reminded me of the thin stuff Hostess Ding Dongs used to be wrapped in, it was also good for killing mice.
