I always thought it was just shiny paper. There's not much Aluminum there,
if any.

A very thin aluminum foil, with a paper backing. Use an Ohm meter on
a piece to see that it is conductive.


I used to be able to do that with the nickle plated antistatic bags
that parts came in back in 1980. The ohmmeter would measure several
hundred ohms. But nowadays all I can measure is an open. I just
tried it again, measured open even on the 200M range.
