    Not only do they cost more, the greater surface area means your cold drink warms up faster.

    Neat.

      Hey we get this revolutionary super can which is supposed to keep your beer cool.
      The ribs are supposed to reduce the contact area of warm fingers.
      It doesn’t work obviously since they aren’t big enough and skin on fingers are flexible enough to touch everything.
      You only pay 30 to 50% more for this nonsense.
      Everyone tries to avoid them but somehow the normal cans are more than often ‘sold out’ in stores.

        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?

      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.

        It’s far from being that only, check the ingredients (especially if using the zero sugar/calories version)

        Yuka is a great app to tell you this as well, if you’re okay with it
