True story.

During WWII, British airplanes would drop thin stips of metal from the airplanes to fool the German radar. Following the war, the British goverment was left with an incredible surplus of these metal longs strips. Eventually a company bought the surplus and many of the strips became the inside stock for British tobacco cards. If you get one of these trading cards and crack them, you can see that they are metal inside.
