Aluminum foil gets holes in it because it is extremely thin. Aluminum foil is not supposed to be able to last forever.

Why did they quit wrapping ding dongs made by hostess in the foil wrapper and start wrapping them in plastic wrappers?

The switch from foil to plastic wrappers was likely due to cost savings and convenience. Plastic is cheaper and easier to manufacture than foil, making it a more cost-effective option for packaging the ding dongs. Additionally, plastic wrappers provide better protection and shelf life for the product compared to foil.

Will ice melt faster wrapped in plastic foil and aluminum foil and put it outside or if you put it inside?

The ice will melt faster if placed outside rather than inside, regardless of how it's wrapped, due to higher ambient temperatures. However, wrapping the ice in plastic foil and aluminum foil will provide some insulation to slow the melting process compared to leaving it unwrapped.

Why does restaurant served baked potatoes wrapped in aluminum foil?

I do not know why people wrap them in foil at home, one can bake a potato in their oven without wrapping it. I do wrap them when I cook them on the grill. In many places the potatos are boiled before wrapping them and placing them in the oven. A friend in the food business said that people expect them to be in foil. I guess that people see it wrapped so it must be clean. Some folks don't want the potato to dry out while it's cooking. A spud wrapped in foil will not suffer the water loss that an unjacketed one will. Depending on the cooking time, one may chose to put on the foil or not. Even when spuds are cooked quickly in the microwave, it is recommended that they be cooked in a covered dish or bowl. (They will not, of course, be covered with foil when we nuc 'em.) It's a moisture thing. Bon appétit!

How do you get baked pork chops off tin foil if stuck after baking them?

I think steam may be your best way to do this. To do it, try 'softening' them apart by wrapping them tightly in more foil with some boiling hot liquid in it, then let them 'steam' in the liquid for a few minutes. Or you can place them in a strainer or on a splatter screen, then place them over boiling water and let the steam loosen the cooked on foil that way. You should then be able to just peel it off.To prevent this from happening in the future, there is a brand of foil you can use that won't stick to the food. It's called Reneyold's Non Stick foil, and it works great; I've never had any food stick to it.
