"Reddit users are hopping mad about the thinner material that is now more prone to tearing and decidedly less heavy-duty than before. One user endeavored to track this downturn over a number of years, posting a thread on Reddit entitled, 'The gradual decrease in quality of the beloved Kirkland Big Foil' with pictures and measurements indicating a lighter weight and diminished capacity."
"Echoed in the replies are comments including, 'What is sold as Heavy Duty foil now feels like what used to be standard foil.' Another shares, 'It's not just Costco's Kirkland brand foil. Most foil brands over the past few years have drastically produced a thinner sheet of foil that tears very easily.'"
"As one comment succinctly states, 'So half the weight and likely twice the cost? Sounds about right.' This captures consumer frustration with simultaneously receiving less product while paying more for Kirkland Signature aluminum foil."
Costco's Kirkland Signature aluminum foil has experienced a notable decline in quality according to consumer reports on Reddit. Users document that the foil is now thinner, weighs less, and tears more easily than previous versions. The Heavy Duty variant now feels comparable to standard foil from years past. This quality reduction affects both Kirkland Signature and the Reynolds brand behind it, with consumers frustrated by simultaneously thinner products and increased prices. The issue extends beyond Kirkland to most major foil brands, which have similarly reduced thickness over recent years, creating widespread consumer dissatisfaction.
