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…
The only reason you find this annoying is because of malicious compliance by the companies behind the sites.
The amount of time and money the sites put down into designing the user interface to trick you into clicking “Accept all” is impressive.
All it would have taken would have been a default setting in your browser like “all cookies”, “let me choose” and “only necessary”.
But hey, then the sites wouldn’t be able to trick you into accepting being tracked, now would they?
“I promise. I’m just going to put it in a little bit. It won’t hurt. Just a little bit”
Yeah… We’ve all heard stories like that and we know how those stories ended…
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”).
