I am not so sure this page qualifies as a stub. It definitely has more than one paragraph, and I am not sure what more needs to be covered. If no one disagrees, I am going to remove the stub notice. b4hand 18:14, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Agreed - I stubbed it when I originally found it as a one-liner, but I think between us we have now said everything that can be said about it. I wish someone with a micrometer screw would go and measure the thickness of a sample, though - I just worked it out by measuring a roll and doing some trigonometry to work out how many layers there must be in it, and the error margin must be considerable. seglea 02:56, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Why does it hurt when foil touches tooth fillings?

I've changed the term alufoil in the text to 'aluminium foil'. The phrase 'alufoil' is not in common usage in all localities; for example, in Australia it is referred al-foil. The full name, Aluminium foil, on the other hand, is clear an unambiguous.

I've noted at that both these two abbreviations (alufoil and alfoil) are used when referring to aluminium foil.
