speaking from experience and not from science, foil is a very good conductor of heat which means it can go from hot to cold very fast (and vise versa) whereas plastic is waterproof and will keep the cold moisture (or warm moisture) in the food and we all know that water is a poor conductor of temperature thus keeping your food colder (or hotter) for longer.

What makes aluminum so light?
It's lack of weight
Why it is colder in December than in April?
Because Earth makes more distance from Sun.
How does the kinetic theory relate to the cooling of soda?
Well, it makes it colder! :) just kidding i just wanna answer! :) :D
What makes mercury in a thermometer go up and down?
Change in temperature is what cause the Mercury to expand up (hotter) or shrink down (colder).
Is there a difference in weight if an aluminum can is flattened?
Flattening an aluminum can makes no difference to its weight. However, a bag full of flattened aluminum cans will weigh much more than a bag full of unflattened aluminum cans, simply because you can fit many more cans in the bag.
What keeps things colder aluminum plastic or toilet tissue?
Aluminum is worst, plastic better, and toilet tissue best at insulating things if the dimensions are "nominal" from one material to the other. Aluminum conducts heat very well, and it is a poor insulator. Plastic can conduct heat, but not as well as aluminum. Tissue, on the other hand, has a lot of "dead air spaces" within its structure. These trapped air places reduce heat movement by convection. And this makes tissue a better insulator than the other materials.
Why do hot atoms move colder than warm atoms?
Because heat makes things expand, and cold makes things contract.("'\(o.o)/"')
What keeps things cooler alumium foil or plastic wrap?
Plastic wrap. Foil makes it hot.
What makes glad press'n seal stick to things?
the thinness and type of plastic
What is the name of the movie where the girl makes her boyfriend gets plastic surgery?
The shape of things
What makes up aluminum?
aluminum is made of one atom
Why is aluminum a pure substance?
Only a single component makes up aluminum foil, which is the aluminum element. Hence, aluminum foil is considered as a pure substance.
What is injection molding plastic used for?
Injection molding plastic is a tool used to mold hard material through thermal heat, for example steel or aluminum are not metals that could be heated using the tool which makes the material easier to manipulate or mold into varies of shapes. The tool is often seen used by engineer.
Will a drink get colder by shaking it?
Shaking allows the drink to couple with the ice longer which makes it colder
What type of plastic makes plastic bags?
a soft plastic
What is the difference between extruded aluminum and powder coated aluminum and anodized aluminum?
Extruded aluminum is aluminum that is melted down and extruded, pushed through a certain 2d shaped hole. This can result in square tube, rectangular tube, an L shaped extrude, and an infinite array of other shapes. Powder coated aluminum is aluminum that could be extruded aluminum, that is cleaned, coated with a colored plastic powder, and then baked so that the plastic powder melts and forms a smooth, nice and even coat of colored plastic over the part. This is basically painting the part. Anodized aluminum is aluminum, again this could be extruded aluminum, but it couldn't be powder coated aluminum, that is put in a chemical solution, possibly sulfuric acid, and then a current is run through the aluminum. This causes a reaction to occur where a layer of aluminum oxide gathers on the surface of the part. The processes is then stop and the part can be colored if desired. Anodozing aluminum gives the part better corrosive resistance and makes the surface tougher and harder than it would have been if it had not been anodized. It does add thickness to the part which can be a downside, but it also is lighter than a powder coat if a paint job is desired.
What makes Aluminium Sulphate?
Aluminum Sulfate is Al2 SO4 (aluminum, sulfur, and oxygen)
