Blimey thats something from the past, wasnt the supercan a double sized can ? Back then it was quite cool, remember tons of people buying those

It would probably seem quite small now.

I remember several times with those old ring pulls the ring part could break off leaving the can still partially or completely sealed.

Yeah. And then you would cut yourself trying to open it (no matter how careful you were).

I must admit though, they were very sharp and could easily be used as a very dangerous weapon.

Whereas nowadays they would be used as a replacement knife for EMOs!

Didn't they cause Alzheimer's?

I've forgotten.

On the subject of cans, how stupid were those half size ones. They held about half a swig of fanta, but an unopend one made a great projectile to throw at girls!

I used to tear it off, and then put it in the can, and then drink it (so I t wasn't litter). I swallowed one once, I could feel it inside my pipe for a few days.

No I hated the old ring pulls. I know it sounds wierd but I hated the sound and feel of metal being ripped. The ones we have now just pop the metal down. With the old ones I also had the irrational fear of my lips being sliced open by the metal. Hated them!!

The Iraqi Supercan was f***ing enormous.

As they say, nothing dates faster than satire.

The Iraqi supercan could be launched as quick as 45 minutes you know.
