Devonious, when i make my secret UFO hat, i always put the shinny side out.
I find this stop the chatter much better then leaving the shinny side in.
One time i did shinny side in and i really thought more clearly.
But every time after that its been shinny side out.

Remeber when making a tinfoil hat to keep the aliens from reading your mind that if you make a spike on the top be sure if you are tall to make it under 6 foot 6 or it will get bent everytime you walk thru a doorway.

So the better question to ask is;
Why does tinfoil really have 2 different colored sides?

While many believe that the different properties keep heat out when wrapped with the matte finish facing out, and keep heat in with the matte finish facing inwards, the actual difference is imperceptible without instrumentation.

Its just part of the proccess used to create the foil.

"The shiny side is produced when the aluminium is rolled during the final pass"

Interesting, now, does aluminum pass into our food when we cook with foil? Aluminum in deodorants leads to cancer, i dont want it in my food!

Oddly I learned something new from this thread hahahah.
I really thought it would be a simple thread, but this is reaching a new level!

IMO, yes, aluminum does go into our food when in contact with it. Especially acidic foods like tomatoes. Aluminum cookware, aluminum foil, aluminum in your cake mixes, aluminum in your deoderant. I do believe some studies have shown that aluminum can lead to Alzheimer's. But if one thing doesn't get you, another certainly will...muhahahaha.

sorry, evil laugh.
