Tin foil used to be made from tin. What metal element is it usually made from now?
Answer Aluminum
Before 1926, Americans used tin foil made from tin. Unfortunately, tin leaves a metallic aftertaste in food. Aluminum foil was introduced in 1926 by the U.S. Foil Company, but the name tin foil has stuck around.
