Let's see...

  • Tin foil was once the most common wrapping material for foods and products before being replaced by aluminum foil in the early 20th century. Cans were also made of tin before aluminum cans became more popular, leading to the slang term "tinny" used in Australia and the UK for a can of beer.
  • Pewter, used in a variety of decorative functions and in cooking ware, is made of 85%-99% tin and has been used since the Bronze Age.
  • China is the world leader in tin production, having mined 114,300 tons of tin in 2006.
Whether any of that is interesting is your decision.
