They melted and cast sheet aluminum for everything from air conditoner finstock to chewing gum wrapper thickness foil. Remember peeling that stuff?

I definitely remember peeling the white paper from the foil on those wrappers! When balled up tightly the ultra-thin foil made the most excellent drinking straw blowgun ammo.
