Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Well probably because of the flavored and carbonated ones
And people feel better about driving from a can than a plastic water bottle? I dunno
The last point is always funny to me, because cans are plastic bottles inside of aluminum bottles. There is less plastic at least, I guess.
There's significantly less plastic in them, they only have to have a very thin coating to prevent the metal from oxidizing, vs having to be structurally supportive and retain its own shape. On top of that, aluminum is infinitely recyclable
Yeah, I think the recyclability is the main thing: plastic bottles cannot be recycled into the same grade of plastic in most cases, whereas aluminium cans can be recycled back into more cans.
