Generic Tin-Foil or Reynolds Wrap Brand for Hats?
Some say the Reynolds Wrap brand works better than the less expensive generic tin foil. My insurance does not cover either product.

Do people notice a difference in the performance of the generic? Should I shell out the extra cash for the brand name product?

2. Stick with the brand name. The broadcast is too strong for generic.

8. Dude, I already smoke. What else does Reynold's really care about
I'm worried about the messages from the mother ship and the evil vibrations my cats are sending me. The unite in a cacophony of racing thoughts that, on some occasions, actually make it easier to understand posts on The Lounge. 10-4 Danno.

12. My neighbors dog says you're dirty...
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 01:33 AM by Bat Boy
And I have to "cleanse" you.

'Course he also says his ass tastes terrific, and you can only fool me once with that one. So I usually take what he says with a grain of salt.

Why don't you do a remote viewing and send me some prayer healing. I'll line my Reynolds chapeau with a Rev. Ike prayer rug.

20. As a added note
I prefer Reynolds wrap, over generic because I think this brand has better quality control over the overall thickness of the foil.

If the thickness varies too much, eddy currents can be set-up on the surface of the foil. This has the effect of allowing the waves to 'tunnel' through the foil, much like a 'tunneling' diode.

The importance of a consistent thickness of the foil cannot be overemphasized, as well as making sure the iron based foil is indeed on the outside. Aluminum itself stops nothing. It is the ferris based foil that stops the waves.

6. Switch brands constantly and buy local
The smaller the factory, the safer you are. Actually, why not just go to the junkyard and start hammering out some sheets?

18. Do not forget, the hat must be unobstrusive
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 01:08 PM by Jose Diablo
THEY must not be aware that we know what THEY are doing. We must make the covering so that others do not know, that we know.

For this reason, I prefer to wear a hat that has the foil covering on the inside, like in a baseball cap for example.

I tried a hat with the foil on the outside, but then noticed strange cars following me and people parking in front of my home. I would peak at them through the blinds. Sure they acted like they were just using a cell phone, but I knew they were watching, waiting for me to leave the protection of my home.

Whatever foil is used, be sure the hat does not appear to offer protection from the probing waves of the instruments they use.

21. Reynolds. It holds up better.
It stands to reason it would make a better, more protective hat.

23. The ultimate test
is which brand or generic reflects moonbeams the best.

I don't know, cuz I don't leave home without my beanie with a red propellar.

25. Anyone tried alternating layers of wool and tinfoil as suggested by Reich
in his description of an "Orgone Accumulator"?

A helmet constructed in such a manner might afford protection against Deadly Orgone Radiation (DOR) as well as moonbeams and broad spectrum invasive thought transmissions. Hell, it might even make it safe to use a cell phone!

27. Perhaps it's just me, but this is one of the funniest threads I've seen
here in quite a while!!

Oh, and BTW, it's Reynolds Wrap all the way. To make it less obtrusive, try wearing it under a dreadlock wig. I've yet to get caught this way. Seriously.
