It's a marathon not a sprint (dodges volley of incoming cans :P )

On topic, 330ml is fine for soft drinks, 330/500 for energy drinks, 440/500 for beer/cider and 250 only for mixers/pre mixed boozy drinks
 
If we are going to do anything with cans can we have our 1970's ring pulls back? The kind you could ping at your mates, I feel the youth of today are missing out on this critical right of passage. And I am talking about the proper 1970's ones with the little slots, not the ones they introduced in the 80's without said slots to specifically spoil it for everyone. Also feel metal detectorists are having far too easy a life nowadays as there are fewer ring pulls scattered about the countryside.

Me also remembers those massive flat ended steel Fosters cans which became popular in the 80's when The Paul Hogan Show was on.

Anyways, regards 330/250ml cans, when I go shopping at see the price per ml of cans compared to 2L bottles, I just forget any and all cans and do without the option to have a can out and about.

i havent looked into the value of it, but i noticed soda stream made a bit of a comeback a few years ago. if you only drink the value fizzy drinks i am certain without looking it will never be worth the cost, but it may be worth investigation if you drink a lot of cans and only buy branded stuff. certainly a lot less waste as well as you put the drinks into reusable bottles iirc.

Just DONT put the syrup in before carbonating the water first!! Or try it you like :)
 
In the olden days, before the typical 500ml plastic bottle was around, you could buy soft drinks in bigger cans. Then occasionally you'd get 33% extra free or something, and theyd be even taller. no idea what volume they were though, 440ml would be my guess... i cant find any evidence of this, other than other people remembering them too, so i'm quite sure i didnt imagine it.
 
i still remember the corona fizzy drinks glass bottles and you got money (up to 10p iirc) if you took your empties back. Germany still does this now (or did last time i visited) with beer.

Guiness Original did this for absolutely years. I think it was 13.5% extra for free

You get that from time to time with Pepsi Max. Can't speak for other drinks.

The normal bottles are 500ml but you'll see the larger 600ml if there's a promotion. For a long time you could only get a 600ml bottle, although that seems to have died back a bit now.

Potentially controversial, but I think the 150ml cans are better than a 330ml or 250ml. Those are the small ones you used to get on a flight with a cup of ice. Just enough to take care of immediate thirst, but not so much it's flat by the time you finish it.

How the haemorrhaging **** does even a 330ml can last you long enough to go flat? :confused:

I like them after meals. Just enough to refresh you without drinking too much and bloating
