tin-plated

Although traditional cans ("tins") (late 19-th century) where tin plated, I've never come across a tin-plated beverage container in my life. E.g. in the Netherlands Coca Cola containers are steel and they have a plastic (organic material) lining inside. It is interesting that Coca Cola makes a point of claiming the lining of aluminium cans contains PTA but is safe while remaining silent about steel cans. I don't feel confident and don't know the figures to change the reference to tin-plated.

Split Current characteristics

In order to compare to the "Impact of bottled water" article, I think the second part should be split off into its own topic which address environmental impact and health concerns.

"like a 1970s American-style brake fluid can"

Are non-Americans supposed to know how such a can looked? A better description or (link to) picture would be nice, I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.252.164.90 (talk) 08:28, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

Better formatting

The Standard Sizes section could really be a table instead of a subheading for each country. RteeeeKed💬📖 20:41, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
