‘Alfoil’ is in a similar vein to ‘popper’ and ‘breville’. The names stuck because they’re associated with brands that first brought the things out that we used. That’s why you see all those pop top juices called ‘popper’ and toasted sandwiches sometimes called ‘brevilles’.
Alfoil came from Comalco Alfoil, their brand name for aluminium foil.
Thanks for the info, I’ve never heard of Comalco alfoil. Then again I also never hear kids drinks called ‘poppers’ (just pop-tops) nor toasties ‘Brevilles’ 🫠

Huh, TIL. I’ve never heard toasties called brevilles before, but now I’ll know 👍
Yeah it’s probably a state thing like straz as opposed to devon. But yeah heard it a few times from Queenslanders.
