Fun fact, a taller, narrower can uses more aluminum!
I thought it was the other way around. The thickest part of the can is the top, followed by the bottom. The sides are much thinner. I thought the reasoning behind switching to tall and narrow cans with the same internal volume was to save on aluminium.
Well, I assumed constant thickness, so if that's true, you might be right.
