Don't even pretend like you knew this...

I can't believe I never knew this!!!!

Someone sent this to me and you know you'll go into the kitchen to check this out after you read it.   I almost ignored it because I have Dollar Tree Aluminum foil and I thought, "surely this only applies to the fancy stuff."  Not so. 

How many other products do I use daily that have secret convenience compartments?  I'm going to be checking everything now.  Maybe Alex's diapers have a secret compartment that abosorbs the poop so I don't have to see it.
