Reduced thickness of coke cans

MrTricky

I guess they must be diet coke cans.:rotfl:

MrTricky

Are you sure it is health drinking all that coke?

Or do you just like paying the sugar tax?:rotfl:

There's been a lot written about how cans are made with too much metal simply because we want them to be tall and thin instead of economically squat, wide and stubby.
Private companies want the more wasteful option, and the government can't demand they be more sensible.

As I am stbo on this thread, and shutting the stable door, etc., I suppose the other bleedin' obvious is to buy a strong bag for life or three and keep it/them in the boot of your car!

Do ALDI sell bags for life?
Branded ones I mean, so that as you walk proudly through town, they get free advertising?

Congratulations on starting a thread on MSE complaining about a supermarket product to get this far with being accused of an ulterior motive.

It was an Aldi can and as such the thickness will have been made in accordance with EU directive on tin can wall thicknesses. A directive forced on the poor old UK by the un-elected, undemocratic bueraucrats in Brussels.

Fortunately it won't be long until Brexit and we can get back to making food old fashioned British cans, which can be dropped from a Lancaster bomber onto a lake, bounce several times and still impact a dam without bursting :rotfl:

It amuses me slightly when you see people at the checkout in Tesco / Asda / Lidl / Morrisons / etc using bags for life from rival supermarket chains.

I once dropped a can of Pepsi in Poundland and it erupted like a volcano over half the store. Fortunately they didn't charge me for it.
