    I thought it was the other way around. The thickest part of the can is the top, followed by the bottom. The sides are much thinner. I thought the reasoning behind switching to tall and narrow cans with the same internal volume was to save on aluminium.

      The top seems to be the same size, the old one just bulges more while the new one almost goes straight down.

      Tops are pretty much standars size on all cans I’m pretty sure. So that part should be constant.

        That looks like a 202 vs a 200 can end, so a “sleek” not a “slim” (red bull can is slim)

        The sleek can is 355 ml and uses a 200 end.

        As for which uses more aluminum… Good question. It’s probably close
