Mysterious Foil

 

I'm not talking about "a character who contrasts with another character in order to highlight various features of that other character's personality, throwing these characteristics into sharper focus (Wiki)."  I'm not talking about a weapon used in fencing, or how to obscure or confuse a trail or scent, and  I'm not talking about ruining anyone's master plan.  Lastly, I remember using the F-O-I-L method in math, but that's not it either.  Though all of the above mentioned may be mysterious in their ways, I'm talking about aluminum foil. 

Have you ever had a burrito from Chipotle?  It comes wrapped all perfectly in foil.  Then you begin to eat it, and you get about half way through and realize it's going to be your next meal as well...so you try to wrap it back up in the same foil it came in, which is nearly impossible.  The now wrinkled foil has taken on a smaller form and is unwilling to go back to its old ways of being smooth and big enough to fit around your burrito.  So, you tug on it, then it rips. 

Aluminum foil also serves baking purposes, keeping those pans safe from villainous food.  It can be molded into a food dish, or to make wondrous flying dragons and unicorns.  Ever thought of making a skirt or dress out of foil?  Well don't, because it will probably tear and then you will be naked...awkward.

Basically, foil is awesome.  Fragile, shrinking, warrior, and compromising.  But don't put it in the microwave.
