    This is the real reason cans are made so thin these days...

    Budweiser cans used to be really thin, you could easily rip them in two.

    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'm always doing that! I don't care! :D

    Anyway, the way the store should look at it is like this.......... the customer is using a rival store's bag...... but the customer is in my store, buying my goods! :D


    I have some very heavy duty Sainsbury bags acquired when Sainsbury first started using self-scan handsets in some stores. That was nearly 20 years ago.

    They stay open when empty, and are very robust and hard-wearing, and fit the trolleys very well.

  • I wonder whether it's just coke cans or if others like Irn-Bru are afflicted as well?
    Maybe you could include a selection as part if your dtop test Genie?
