Stupid shape for a can too, tips over In a vehicles cup holder

Uses more aluminum to store the same amount of liquid too.

You sure about that?

Cylinders of the same volume will have the same area, so it should be the same amount of aluminum?

Maybe less, even, since the lid and bottom are thicker than the sides and on the taller can there's less of that thick top/bottom

Ignore things like the bevel, wall thickness, etc. Just calculating for a basic right cylinder, you can see how the surface area changes for different heights with a constant volume. I've outlined the standard dimensions of a can(inches). https://youtu.be/gL3HxBQyeg0

I had a feeling it'd math out something like that if I opened my fat mouth, lol

I do wonder if thickness of the walls or lid/bottom does have an effect, though, as there must be some reason they make these weird ass cans
