    It’s definitely more surface area per volume, but a 200 vs 202 lid and a smaller hermetic seal cancels some of those losses. Sidewall is cheap aluminum wise, but you’re likely right in that it’s a little more aluminum. Definitely costs more to make since they do fill a little slower.

    Also fuck coke, what a bunch of assholes

      The larger diameter of the original can plus the angled transition at either end probably means same surface area of aluminium. Small diameter differences make larger circumferential changes.

        They do, but overall the can end (lid) is a LOT more aluminum than you expect and the whole rest of it isn’t as much as you expect.

        So a little less lid is worth a fair bit more sidewall in terms of weight of aluminum

          Since they apparently have the same volume, could one of you be a hero and steal one of each and weigh them?

            I guess I’m a bit rusty, so I am not sure at 355ml and the skinny profile if you can get a 202 end can, or have to use a 200

            Hard to tell if it’s sleek or slim

            Edit: Actually no, that’s a 200 not a 202. Look at the profile around the tab.
