I know this wouldn't be feasable for a long term arrangement, but really now...wouldn't it be nice to have a coke in a clear glass can?

Glass really doesn't have the right mechanical properties. How about plastic or perspex? |
|
| |
(I'm not entirely clear why plastic coke bottles don't already come can-shaped - there may be more mechanical principles at work.) |
|
| |
They don't come can-shaped because creating an opening mechanism would be much more complicated. You could have the can plastic with a metal top, that might work. Keeping a good seal might be a problem though. |
|
| |
They make so many other types of plastic cans that have a pop-off top. I cant imagine why it would be any different for soda. |
|
| |
I bet you could keep colas in a Mason jar. Mason jars are not unpleasant to drink out of. |
|
| |
A glass seal that is thin enough it can be broken without producing a dangerous edge yet strong enough that it can contain the pressure inside the can. All while making the whole system cheap enough to rival aluminum can production. |

It's a goddamn holy grail. |

No - read [neilp]'s anno. |

I'm amazed this isn't a widely-known. |

I'm still not following you guys. |

I think Brian Potter is a character on a BBC show called "Pheonix Nights", apparantly. The problem with US shows are that the mainstream ones here are basically plastered all over the gd globe as well. |
