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

One advantage of the tall narrow 12oz cans is they take up less horizontal space in the refrigerator

One disadvantage is that they're harder to stack

Another disadvantage is they tip more easily if set down on an uneven surface or whacked by the dog’s tail

Sure, but one disadvantage is they're harder to stack.

Worked for Virginia Slims and other brands.

Remember the connotation was slim cigarette, slim figure. I imagine the same psychological trick is at play with the slim can.

They don't fit in my mini fridge like normal cans do either
