    Would also be interesting to see how the weights and wall thicknesses of the cans changed over the years. Comparing present day soda cans to soda cans in my childhood, I get the impression that present day soda cans are made with much thinner metal sheets (e.g., it's much easier to crumble present day soda cans than it was the soda cans from a new decades ago).

      It’s probably been a good decade since I drank a can of Pepsi.

      I quit drinking soda in the 80's. Too many other/better things to drink.

        Me, too. I'm very happy to have finally broken a lifelong (literally, started jonesing on Coke at age four) soda habit.

        I'm even happier that there's at least a possibility that after going through various substitutes, I may end up drinking plain old ordinary water by preference.

        That would for me be a major step forward health wise.

              I weaned myself off sugary drinks as a teenager trying to get fit. Now I can’t abide them. Maybe a caipirinha now and then. But no sweet tea or sodas.

                That's what I'm fervently hoping will finally happen for me. I divorced real sugar drinks many years ago, and have since been trying to do the same with artificially sweetened drinks. It's been a long struggle which has taken far more time and effort than it should have. It's all been part of the ongoing struggle to wean off of sweet altogether. I think I may be reaching victory.

                Sure hope so, anyway.
