This seems the perfect place to ask some man questions...
Discussion
...without being too embarassed.
As a bloke living alone there are a few real world questions that bug me, and being a forum largely made of blokes I can ask them here...maybe
So which way up does the tinfoil go? shiny or matt?
Oh and wtf is the difference between bio and non-bio washing powder?
I await your ridicule and informative answers...

Shiny side up, I reckon. More reflective or something.jayfish said:

Dunno. Something to do with irritating your skin. Try them both and see which one makes you itch less.Anything else, don't hesitate to ask.
Biological washing powder contains enzymes which break down stains etc in the wash .Non Bio doesn't contain the enzymes.
In terms of the environmental impact, neither system is perfect. Whilst the enzymes contained in a biological wash powder may take longer to disperse in the environment, the temperatures for washing can be lower than for a non-biological powder. The non-bio powder could take a higher temperature to do the same wash, which uses more electricity and water and this also has an environmental impact.
doesn't matter with foil, it's part of the manufacturing process that makes one side shiny and one matt

I always use tin foil so that the matt side is in contact with the food. No idea why, just feels right.

right, so bio better at stains and cheaper, thanks you have saved both my curry stained T-shirt and my bank account In terms of the environmental impact, neither system is perfect.

This company reckons it doesn't matter which side you use for your foil, but if I'm cooking something on it, I always use it matte side up, and if I'm using it to wrap something, I always use it shiny side up. No idea why, never ever thought about it, just that's the way it is!

I'm in aluminium industry and can confirm no difference in performance either side. Foil is split and separated during manufacturing process and shiny side is on the roller surface, where matt side is on the shear (splitter) tool.
I must get out more!!!!
I am soooo glad you put that, my OH is always having a go at me for using the "wrong side" of the foil.....I must get out more!!!!
Bio washing powder is the one to get because it is more effective at getting grease out of your clothes after you've been working on the car. Poofters like to imagine that they are "allergic" to it.

te that makes your clothes stink, serves no useful purpose to the consumer, exists only to make more money for the manufacturers of domestic chemicals.

Ahh, now your getting technical. WTF is fabric conditioner????te that makes your clothes stink, serves no useful purpose to the consumer, exists only to make more money for the manufacturers of domestic chemicals.
Stuff the whole lot in, turn to most aggressive wash setting to make sure it works, wait, remove, dry, wear.Pigeon said:

Not necessarily so. I came out in a nasty rash with one brand of bio powder many years ago. Since it covered all my manly areas I was worried enough to see my doctor. SHE examined it and declared my cotton underpants had retained some of the powder !Alexj800 said:
I think conditioner does make a difference. A friend has an identical jumper to mine. His jumper has gone rough and feels like cardboard, where as mine is as soft and cosy as the day it was bought.
If using fabric conditioner wasn't bad enough, you're actually comparing the state of you jumper with a mate's. Even worse than that, you've actually felt your mate's jumper.You dirty jumper-toucher you.
