Not only do they cost more, the greater surface area means your cold drink warms up faster.
Neat.
Where is the one on the left no longer available? I live in the US and see those all the time.
Weird what happens when 40% of the currency was printed in the last few years.
Are we blaming the government who control interest rates, gamify the CPI to depress inflation, and who control the corresponding new money supply that drives up the price of basic goods?
If housing, gold, and crypto are any indication people have far too much money than they know what to do with. You’d have to be a fool to not accumulate some cantillon effect for yourself when you’re government is throwing money away.
I’m surprised the new one isn’t something less than 12 ounces.
surely this uses more aluminum
It may use less aluminum, as the top and bottom surfaces are much thicker
I’m shit at math, but probably not? If both contain the same amount of liquid, are filled to the same point and both are round (which they are lol), I don’t see how those would require more material.
And even if, if they double the price per can, it’s absolutely worth it.
You have never taken calculus.
Have you? AP calculus doesn’t count.
I found this same thought on this same post a year ago. Someone already crunched the numbers and it seems with the volume constant but height growing, the surface area increases
Original discussion: https://lemmy.world/comment/8371055
A further complication is that the aluminium is considerably thicker on the base and the top… so there’s more thin metal, and less thick metal.
Why don’t we just weigh them?
To illustrate, imagine if we kept getting taller and taller - like trying to fit the same volume of soda in a pencil-thin can that’s about a meter long.
You use more and more aluminum the further away it gets from the minimum surface-area-to-volume container, which would be a sphere
The fuck is a fluid ounce?
Fluid ounce is volume, ounce is weight. Liters vs grams.
Ah wonderful, so I’m sure one fluid ounce of water weighs precisely one ounce weight wise?
Common mistake. Its actually Florida ounces.
…two-thirds a dram of scotch whisky…
Damn liberals and their woke-genderized measurements smh
This cannot be a real question.
Because everyone on Reddit is American? Or that the entire planet is supposed to understand nuanced differences between ounces and fluid ounces that only… what, 3 countries on the planet use?
1/8th of a cup
Ounces that are wet.
People with vending machines aren’t going to be happy, those new ones won’t fit.
A few years back we literally had frito lay vendors come in before store open to reset the chip aisle, all the bag sizes shrank and they credited out the previous size.
I think this falls under the term “merchandising”, which includes “family size” or “party size” things that cost more per ounce than regular size.
Babe, wake up. New shit corpo practice just dropped.
Just straight up stop buying shit. Drink filtered tap, and live off only what you need and shrug off ppl that think buying expensive shit will make them cool.
I meant use a brita or something
Just a heads up Brita filters do basically nothing it’s mostly just a carbon block which will help remove chlorine flavor which makes it taste a little better but in terms of actually removing contaminants it does very little to almost nothing.
Zero water is the closest thing in brita drip form that actually removes things but getting a counter top reverse osmosis is the way to go if not getting a dedicated under sink unit
Just remember! Reverse osmosis filters are NOT eco friendly, it cost 3 to 4 gallons of waste water discard to gain 1 gallon of drinking water.
Also stop paying for filtered tap water when there’s nothing wrong with your specific tap water.
Where I live has heavy agriculture and oil industry presence. People here are concerned over pesticides and random chemicals randomly seeping into the water system.
Sadly not everyone has great chlorine-free water. One of the most annoying experiences every time I go abroad (for example to Italy)
Quite true. Not everyone has lead-free water either. But people whose water is perfectly great do not need to pay for filtered water - especially not in single-use plastic bottles.
Absolutely. I’m always drinking tap water at home, we have perfectly clear, chlorine-free, mineral-rich water directly from the mountains. One of my favourite aspects of Austria.
I would have been more than happy to drink tap water and have my kids drink tap water.
We’ve had a couple lead warnings though and I don’t want to fuck with it. They’re going to have a hard enough time with the misfortune of getting my genes. I don’t want to make it even harder for them.
yeah but also that’s too much coke. 355ml? jesus, are you eating lava wtf do you need that much sugar water for
That’s a standard sized drink can in pretty much all of North America. Anything smaller is rare/unusual (though occasionally available).
People drink 64oz of that stuff in a day like it’s nothing lol
*High fructose corn syrup water
I mean we’re not buying this stuff any longer but I’m surprised coke seems to be more expensive in the US than it is in Denmark?!?
This is a terrible meme
It has two red circles and bottom text, of course it’s a meme /s
chant with me
dont
buy
american
