Why doesn't beer and soda come in square cans?

[nakedfrog]

Just imagine a future society with piping controlled by nanotechnology... get any drink you want, straight from your tap
I'm sure companies would love that. Especially beer companies.

I think the shape of can of beer doesn't matter. In fact the beer can holder are also available in round shape.

Dude!!! You are Necrothreading!!!

Or a bag like Canuk milk.

Round is stronger, and also easier to manufacture. Also no sharp edges.

Meh, that would make throwing a beer at someone pointless!

Wasting most beer is a sin or should be. Except for that Molson crap.

I’m a beer snob, so throwing any mainstream beer at someone isn’t a waste to me. Hmm, now methinks I should take my wife out and visit my favorite microbrewery.

I kinda like Molson ... Golden in particular.

At least partly nostalgia ... when I was in HS that stuff along with Heineken, Beck's and maybe Bass ale were about the best you could do in 99% of stores/bars.


Edit: Drinking age was 18 so HS age alcohol consumption wasn't that much of a stretch ... yeah I'm old!
