But others were not impressed with many claiming the ‘hack’ creates too much waste and encourages recklessness. 

‘If you do this half the time you end up wasting almost half the roll,’ said a disgruntled commenter.

‘Most of these hacks cause me to throw the whole roll out,’ added another. ‘So useless.’

‘Just tried this and it didn’t work. I’m so frustrated.’ 

While some claimed they’ve never struggled with the problem at all.

‘I’ve never experienced that ever,’ said one woman. ‘But that’s probably because I don’t buy cheap tin foil.’
