- Smaller carbon footprint
- Can be compacted to a fraction of their original size
- Compacting cans is a fun party activity
- We only have one glass smelter in NZ and all our glass for recycling is just being stock piled until they have the capacity to do it.
- Cans cool down 5 times faster than bottles in ice
- Cans fit in the fridge better
- Full cans are very difficult to break
- Smashing an empty beer can on your forehead is much less painful than with a bottle
- Canned beer is not exposed to light
- Bottled drinks do not taste better
- If you put a canned drink in the freezer to cool it down quicker and forget about it, it is much less likely to explode, a bottle will
Preference for drinking from bottles is purely a perception thing; drinking from cans is perceived as being a poor mans thing to do and the perception is also that mass produced and/or poor quality drinks come in cans. This is not true! Cans are simply more practical.
Embrace the can people!!
