Greater surface area also means more material for the same product, which leads to less effective transport, more waste and increased polution. Non-standarized can size means every can storage system and cup holder which have taken can size into consideration will be worse. I'm sure a lot of vending machines will have to be modified or scrapped for this can design.

Everyone are worse off because of this, and it's all for attempting to trick consumers and increase profits. Shit sucks.

Is this a new thing in the US? We've had these in Europe for years - and I mean 10-15 at least.

Weren't soda companies whining about aluminum costs just recently? Guess they found some extra in order to fleece their customers.

These are more easily stackable and take up less horizontal space, so they are more efficient for transport.
