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

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

Heinz baked beans too, and as someone else has already mentioned - Branston's is better :-)

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.

Maybe I'm in the wrong section of the supermarket, but I have only ever seen corned beef in the same sort of packaging as salami. In A5-sized plastic trays which you peel the upper plastic off. Of course the deli counter is different as the salami is cut to order.

GenZ know corned beef only in plastic packets, if they know it at all ?
not sure if the sliced stuff is, genuine, from South America/Argentina, have never tried DIY corned beef though, or been somewhere in USA where DDD show suggests restaurants, commonly, make it.

for my sins, never recycle their cans, or tinned toms, about the only cans we use.

I had no idea it now comes in plastic. I thought it was one of teh few things that was still tinned!
I still remember Swiss Army knives having a backspring phillips screwdriver that was split, in order to open the can if you lost/broke the twist-key!

What do people actually use corned beef for anyway? Disposable post-it notes? Terrible deodorant? Modelling clay?
I guess it's what Southerners use if they can't get a good haggis.....?
Corned Beef Hash was always the big one, but even today Greggs still do it as a pasty/slice.

So I'm reading this thread during lunch at work and there happens to be a food donation box next to me. I've had a rummage and the only ones that don't stack are heinz.

Everything on the left stacks just fine.

It's utterly shameful. Heinz meanz overpiced, underwhelming and unstackable.
 
I'm sick of Heinz cans not stacking :@. First world problem but oh lordy it grinds my gears.

Made a switch to alternative brands on most things now. Tomato soup being one of the exceptions.

it's foul and inedible...
 
Was brought up on Heinz but we switched to Sainsbury’s own brand, I always add my own seasonings since being given some great “extra fancy pinto bean seasoning” from my Texan friend. Can’t eat beans without it now.

As for not stacking, little tins of anchovy fillets and other tins of fish never seem to stack nicely with the tins of meat.
 
Heinz probably can't be bothered to have their production line retooled for a stacking design.

As soon as they're out of the packaging they're uselessly unstable for stacking.

Ring pulls and stackable design are signs someone gave a damn.
