Food cans that don't stack, name and shame.

[throwaway4372]

I noticed that some of the cans in my food cupboard stack nicely, but some don't, so it's just a wobbly health & safety hazard.

This thread is to name and shame brands who have failed to design cans that stack safely.

While we're here, let's name some that do a good job also.

I'll start:

Failure, notify health & safety:
- Heinz (tomato soup, spaghetti + sausages)

Well done:
- Baxter's soups
- Sainsburys soups

When I worked in a grocery store, I hated Heinz. Things were always trying to fall down.

I do feel your username could be part of the answer.

Heinz beans taste like gnats slash, go for Branstons with the added benefit that they stack nicely

Just eaten some on toast, perfect beans in a perfect tin for the modern man.

Hienz don't seem to as nice now

corned beefs #1 stacker - does need to come out of the tin after all,
it probably uses a lot more metal to be strong when its oblong, but you get better product density by the case.

would beans or fizzy drinks cost a lot more in an oblong can.

I've always preferred Branston, and they've always been cheaper.

Nope, he speaketh the truth sadly. I grew up on Heinz but switched to Branston years ago, although I don't eat beans often now. Heinz became a tin of watery disappointment some time ago. Their tomato soup is still reliable though.

gnats slash

They stack well?

I'm saving up for a tin of beans. I might be able to afford one next month.

Tinned food that doesn't stack must the biggest problem facing the planet today.

It is annoying though


Besides. Saves a lot of space in your bunker if they stack

Health & safety hazard? How high are you stacking your beans.

Heinz are bloody awful both staking and taste! Supermarket own labels versions are nicer AND cheaper!

Whoever designed the tear shaped cans that hold ham, should be shot

Weird i was just saying the same thing today and Heinz are terrible, sometimes fall when I close the door which makes a good game of cupboard Jenga, or usually the next persons problem

Wish Lucozade Sport multipacks improve their cardboard outer. They fall apart but standard Lucozade is shrink wrapped in plastic.

Judging by how long they’ve been around, he’s probably already dead
