Stupid shape for a can too, tips over In a vehicles cup holder
Uses more aluminum to store the same amount of liquid too.
You sure about that?
Cylinders of the same volume will have the same area, so it should be the same amount of aluminum?
Maybe less, even, since the lid and bottom are thicker than the sides and on the taller can there’s less of that thick top/bottom
Ignore things like the bevel, wall thickness, etc. Just calculating for a basic right cylinder, you can see how the surface area changes for different heights with a constant volume. I’ve outlined the standard dimensions of a can(inches).
https://youtu.be/gL3HxBQyeg0I had a feeling it’d math out something like that if I opened my fat mouth, lol
I do wonder if thickness of the walls or lid/bottom does have an effect, though, as there must be some reason they make these weird ass cans
We’ve had those bottles for years now here in Sweden.
The reason for the change to the taller thinner can is because the amount of aluminium used in the top and bottom is less. The top and bottom in an aluminum can is the thickest parts.
The price increase has nothing to do with it though…
While the chapter can statement us true, they definitely took the chance to up the price if the dates match. Capitalism at it’s best.
How is the top smaller though? It looks identical. There must be another reason.
Search on YouTube to see how aluminium cans are made and you’ll understand why the “lid” and bottom is where the aluminium is thicker (as compared to the “walls”).
I don’t mean it’s not thicker, i mean it looks like it has the same diameter.
Fuck corporations but I don’t believe this for a second. People are just making this shit up now. Some dude scribbles some prices on a piece of paper and this whole website loses its mind.
…do people think the tall can is bigger? If anything, I’ve always assumed that they were smaller 🤷♂️

Oh hey we watched that video in my psych class. Funny phenomenon. Kids are dumb
Not just kids…
Now now, you shouldn’t put yourself down like that. I’m sure you’re not dumb.
You almost sound like PunnyName is the last remaining adult in the world
They are. We’re all dead.
This is the shittiest afterlife.
What a time to be
alivedead!
“Kids are dumb” is your conclusion? Eff off. Adults fall for the same tricks kids do. Else things would cost $7.00 instead of $6.99.

Oh no! A potential monotonous job that lets me live a life of luxury 10,000x better than any of those animals if I wanted! Better equate it to a death trap… Not the reality of simply existing in the first place lol.
existence is fine, the problem is capitalism lol
Capitalism isn’t perfect, but no other system has provided so much for so many. Fact.
Saying “fact” after a stupid sentence doesn’t make it true.
Maybe you want to have a cup of tea instead? Way more cheap and healthy. Or buy some off-brand soda. It is just as much garbage as coca cola but at least it’s cheap.
Or just water.
Yes, of course. Preferably tap water.
Reason 500,000 to not buy any Coca Cola corp products
I saw one of those thin cans the other day and thought, “that’s a weird can shape, I don’t know why someone would buy that.”
Now it makes sense.
Edit: Also, I forgot about this- https://moneynotmoney.com/historical-price-of-coca-cola-in-united-states/
The biggest absolute price decrease in the price of 2 liters of coca-cola was in 2015, when the price dropped by $-1.79, or -100%.
Coke was free in 2015? Or is there a script filing is these paragraphs and it’s counting missed data points as zero?
It dropped by -1.79 which means it became 1.79 more expensive.
AI is amazing lol
Always purchase by volume/weight, not container
It’s not always an available option. If an ink maker deprecates old containers and starts selling smaller ones for almost the same price you can’t just buy something else if you need consistency. Coca-Cola probably thinks that you can’t just replace Coca-Cola®™© with substitutes and I know some people would agree
Well, I meant within brands. Drug packages are the worst. I’ve seen two boxes of the same drug side by side and the smaller box had more tablets. That is to say, containers can be deceptive. Look at the volume and weight of the product.
Consuming that utterly unhealthy drink is the real trickflation.
