There’s the proof it works: No alien abductions during that period, were there? Well were there??

When Reynolds ruled!

10K years is a lot of “oongawa’s.”

The suntan pattern finally killed it.

There were many battles between those who preferred …

… the shiny side out and those who preferred the shiny side in.

…Followed not long after by the ‘Tupperware’ era.

At first I thought that was Bleeb tumbling from the sky (upper left)

Many of yesterday’s comments about Bleeb are appropriate again today!

Don’t throw until you hear the crinkling of their foil….

Now it’s only fashion use is for hats

Hey! Alcoa! Reynolds! Come here! Look!

I think they called it “The Tin Foil Age”, and it is still going on. At least that is what my hat is made of…

And the dinosaurs said “Cool! Pre-wrapped burritos”!

The Aluminum Age began about 1890.

…and it was known as the Alumirassic Epoch… which eventually gave us gas station breakfast burritos wrapped in aluminum foil!

(Sniff!!) Those were my people!

About 1 hour ago Mudd said,

Bleeb is in the cave door way,lower right. :>)

Soon to be followed by the Plastic Wrap Era( better know as the Cling Era).

They determined how old it was from the residue left by the pastries formerly wrapped inside; also known as carb one dating

It takes a lot of energy to smelt aluminum from ore. I suspect they used fossil fuels.

Hey Bleeb, get a little piece to wrap yourself up in.

The very first heating pad

And thus C-a-s-t-r-a-t-i-o-n was the beginning C-a-t-a-s-t-r-o-p-h-y…

Though misnamed, you would think it would have corresponded with the tin (foil) age.

Those hunters are never going to make a kill, their prey will hear them coming a mile away.

So, the current age?

Tinfoil wedgies, OUCH!!!

Bleeb sure gets around.

Fun fact: Aluminum was first discovered in 1825, and initially was so difficult to process that it was worth more than gold.

Curses. Foiled again
