Tin is more expensive than aluminum so enjoy it.
In today's world, they both mean the same thing. However, back before WWII, or thereabouts, the metal foil used in the way we now use aluminum foil was actually made of tin. Real tinfoil is no longer used, but it can still be bought costing over $100 for a 50 foot roll.
You got to use the real stuff to keep them from reading your brainwaves:thumb up2:Quote:

Welcome to the weird club Tin Man. I'm weird. One guy called our boats tin cans! I guess his glass jar is his choice.

So then they are not tin foil hats, they are actually aluminum hats? They sound heavy.
