Another fun fact silver foil is used to wrap desserts. In one of ASARCO LLC management committe meeting, in discussing supply /demand for copper the importance of coproduct silver and its consumption in India was discussed. The CEO relayed this discussion to me some time later and that is when I told him about the use of foil in desserts . At the next meeting, I presented him a box of I dian dessert wrapped in silver foil, with a note which read “ market research you can chew on.” The humor was appreciated but I am not sure any management committee members actually tasted the dessert for fear of heavy metal poisoning.
