foil made from a thin leaf of tin was commercially available before its aluminium counterpart. tin foil was marketed commercially from the late nineteenth into the early twentieth century. the term "tin foil" survives in the english language as a term for the newer aluminium foil. tin foil is less malleable than aluminium foil and tends to give a slight tin taste to food wrapped in it. tin foil has been supplanted by aluminium and other materials for wrapping food.
