But Trump might roll them back on Wednesday! And they're back on Saturday. But off next Tuesday! But then - tariffs next Thursday again!
That's how you do a business.
- It's certainly how you create volatility in the stock market...
- Trumps version of political surge pricing
Yea tempted to say switch to European styles for the long run. Also is the industry standard bottle world wide cause if it's just the US no fucking reason in the mid term future to not use stubby bottles as an act of defiance
- What is the european style?
- Bottles are a climate change disaster and glass doesn't actually get recycled. Aluminum cans are far superior.
- Imperial. Our cans are 355 ml (12oz) or 473ml (16oz / 1 pint) whereas European ones are generally 330ml and 500ml.
  
  Oh European ones are 500ml I always thought it was only because of shrinkflation that those became smaller. TIL
- We use a mix of the 2 systems. The cans are 355ml for normal size. Tall boys depend on the company.
  
  Are they not all 16oz/473mL?
We make cans in Australia too...
- Mexico too! They got all sorts of Mexi-cans!
