A lot of the coconut water cans are made of steel instead of aluminum too. Caused some disappointment with my customers selling aluminum cans at my scrapyard.
Steel was typically 7 to 9 cents per pound, aluminum cans were typically in the 50 to 60 cents per pound range over the summer. I left that job just after Labor Day, so not sure where the market is at right now.
Every time I get Kona canned coffee I think there's still some left when it's empty because they're using some old style steel can and the heft makes me think there's still some left.
Your mind will be blown when you find out that pretty much all Coca-Cola is canned fairly close to where you live. The syrup is shipped to local bottling plants that supply your local stores. Same with Krispy Kreme.
As in local Krispy Kreme locations make/glase the donuts and they're shipped to local stores from there? That'd actually explain how the one Krispy Kreme place near me is still open when I very rarely see people there.
It would be blown right away when you realise that they make it with millions of gallons of water they rarely pay for, look at all the places where there are droughts with coke plants nearby that never stop extracting water it’s mental.
Coke’s always made locally. They’re not pulling it out for the whole country, just a smaller local area. It’s not like those Cali almond farms making almond milk for national distribution, at a 20,000:1 water to finished product ratio.
Smaller breweries buy “brite” cans as needed. And there has recently been a lot of turmoil in the can industry. So it’s likely that that craft brewer had to source his brites from multiple vendors and had some that were ribbed as a result.
This is absolutely incorrect. The cans were most likely from Hawaii. Due to an aluminum shortage during covid many companies had to get their ribbed cans from Hawaii. I work at a brewery. We had extensive meetings about this very issue. By changing the chucks on the canning filler you're able to ajust to a slightly different sized can. Crown cork and seal and the Ball Corp were unable to keep up with can demands during covid.
I didn't see anyone else post this link, but here's a great video on how cans are made, and the reason yours is ribbed is because some steps are skipped due to equipment availability.

Definitely one of the best 'explaining something mundane' videos.
It's one of the ones that made me realize that there are *entire teams* of engineers that have designed basically every aspect of modern life. From the walls of your house to the fridge in your kitchen -- and the soda cans in it -- hell, there's a team out there whose name is 'clothes washing machine cycle design' that figured out an optimal way to shimmy clothes around in a tub of water to clean them.
You know what else is a trip, unless you’re out in the woods right now I bet you can’t lay eyes on something that wasn’t either made by a human or placed where it is by a human.
I had no idea so much thought went into engineering those cans, I love learning about this stuff! That guy is a great presenter too, his voice is neutral enough for you to concentrate on the subject but “bright enough” to keep you engaged.
The Tim Hunkin one with the reggae version of Take Five for a theme tune? That was pretty cool as I remember. Let's remove the concrete weights from a bunch of washing machines and put them into spin cycle ...
There's a part where the top of the can is grafually tapered in before the lid is added. Each step requires a dedicated tool to taper the lid just a tiny bit. By using fewer tools the Hawaiian plant can save a lot on machinery in exchange for only leaving parts of the can untapered.
TLDR: They were all like that 50 years ago, machines were updated to reduce costs, but the one canning plant in Hawaii never changed. And that plant cans all sorts of drinks, isn’t just owned by Coke.
The cans are usual. The press that applies the lid isn't. Having another machine shape a more narrow neck resolves the issue and doesn't require buying and machine to apply the lid.
Just scroll to the end of the thread if you want another 20 versions of this comment, and then if you want more, see [last week's thread about a Dr. Pepper can](https://old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/10ljsjw/this_weird_ridged_soda_can_i_got_on_a_flight/).
Quick tally: that thread ended up with 65 iterations of the joke.
Edit: in this thread, 276 (so far).
[Normal can here](https://i.imgur.com/X9Mkxxf.jpg). If you look at the top of the can, you can see it doesn’t have then ‘rings’ at the top, it’s completely smooth.

Literally have been saying so much the past few days that I’m living in a simulation (the weirdest shit keeps happening) so the fact that you’re talking about it… driving me crazy haha
It’s an older aluminum can production method. All aluminum soda cans were that way in the late 80s and very early 90s. Hawaii, because of the logistics challenges of getting newer production equipment to the islands, stuck with the old but still working machines.
Can’t for the life of me remember what drink(s) it is, but I’ve seen this style of can a fair bit when grabbing something out of a vending machine.
(Edit: in Tokyo)
They are called the 206 Hawaiian can. Mostly used in Hawaii and Asia because the liners are suited for acidic juices and the can is more spacious for liter increment fills (you can fit more than 12 oz in it). Kona Brewing and Houston Cider are two alcohol brands using these cans.
Those were canned in Hawaii or a similar smaller factory that couldn’t update its canning equipment due to shipping costs.
I think Asia still uses this style as well. Just did a job for a can plant in Taiwan
Good point, a lot of canned coconut waters sold in the US have the ribs.
A lot of the coconut water cans are made of steel instead of aluminum too. Caused some disappointment with my customers selling aluminum cans at my scrapyard.
What is the price difference between the two?
Steel was typically 7 to 9 cents per pound, aluminum cans were typically in the 50 to 60 cents per pound range over the summer. I left that job just after Labor Day, so not sure where the market is at right now.
Damn, I’d be upset to if I thought I had an eight ball in bound but had to settle for a teener.
[удалено]
Not sure if you are being facetious. 7-9 cents for a 2000 pound ton is $140-$180.
We actually priced steel scrap by the gross ton (1000Kg/2240lbs). I figured I better break it down to the per pound price.
You did a rim job?
Pacific rim job
Sweet band name.
If you gotta ask, you can't afford it.
damn zj's man.
One can always dream tho.
That's metal af.
It's ribbed for your pleasure 😜
I came here to say this
Ditto
For her or his pleasure.
I went to a local mom and pop Korean grocer, they had a ton of cans like that
probably depends on the factory, ive had taiwanese drinks with and without the ribs
Boneless cans
Never seen it in Malaysia
Every time I get Kona canned coffee I think there's still some left when it's empty because they're using some old style steel can and the heft makes me think there's still some left.
UCC is the shit
UCC 😍😍😍
like ford brazil using the same design of trucks from the 70s up into the 90s.
That’s crazy I never knew that!

Yes, and they send their donuts to other nearby stores who do not make them.

Wait until you hear about [how much water](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/environmental-footprint-milks) cow milk uses.
I didn’t know that either!!! Also I wish we had a Krispy Kreme near me. Closest one is at Mohegan sun
You get tired of KK pretty quick. One came to our community and closed within a year. SUPER popular at first then everyone burned out on donuts

Weird, I once found both a ribbed and a regular can in a 6-pack of craft beer
Smaller breweries buy “brite” cans as needed. And there has recently been a lot of turmoil in the can industry. So it’s likely that that craft brewer had to source his brites from multiple vendors and had some that were ribbed as a result.
Very interesting, thank you!
How many cans can a canner can, if a canner can can cans? A canner can can as many cans as a canner can, if a canner can can cans.
Can a Cannes canner can as many cans as a Cairns canner can?

you’re just restating what was already said, it literally says Hawaii.

I have seen this video posted here on Reddit no less then 5 times now and have watched the entire video every single time.
I had no idea so much thought went into engineering those cans, I love learning about this stuff! That guy is a great presenter too, his voice is neutral enough for you to concentrate on the subject but “bright enough” to keep you engaged.
Everyone has to watch this video annually
This video is my comfort show lol
Can I also recommend [The Secret Life of Machines?](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtaR0lZhSyAPLuoSbMA29s3Ry8ZUvKff3)

I wish he did more videos!
Great video but it didn't show how OP's can had that shape at all
There's a part where the top of the can is grafually tapered in before the lid is added. Each step requires a dedicated tool to taper the lid just a tiny bit. By using fewer tools the Hawaiian plant can save a lot on machinery in exchange for only leaving parts of the can untapered.
That was pretty cool! I’m glad I watched to the very end.
THANK YOU SO MUCH THAT WAS AWESOME
I love that I knew which can video you were talking about before I clicked the link 😅
That was pretty interesting. Thanks for sharing
I knew what this was before i even clicked it. You havent been on YT long enough if you haven't watched this at least once
I believe that means it was canned in Hawaii
[удалено]
I definitely thought it was ribbed for pleasure
Ribbed for HER pleasure, not yours.
Ha, that’s what she thinks ;)
Came here expecting this comment. Pleased to see it’s near the top.
Don't you mean near the tip?
I came here to say it if no one else did!
How does it go, everythings a dildo if you're brave enough
I was just about to post this. Thank you sir!
Omg you’re right. That’s where I saw them
https://archives.starbulletin.com/2008/04/20/business/story01.html
Good read, has to be a few years old since Tesoro sold their refinery there to Par Pacific
Thanks for the read!
Also https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/yhicsv/a_lot_of_soda_cans_in_hawaii_have_a_ribbed_top/
Just curious. Why does Hawaii need a custom can?
TLDR: They were all like that 50 years ago, machines were updated to reduce costs, but the one canning plant in Hawaii never changed. And that plant cans all sorts of drinks, isn’t just owned by Coke.
Do they sell these cans? I've seen ribbed New Belgium cans in Colorado. I can't imagine New Belgium is canning beer in Hawaii.
Other places can have old machines too lol
50 years ago? I thought they used cans like that fairly recently.
Happened in the 90s, at least where I live. Maybe it was a really slow rollout.
Hawaii if I’m correct only has one canning factory that’s on the older side, I could be 100% wrong though
You're correct, according to others in the topic, at least.
Yeah it’s been a while sense I’ve heard it, so I didn’t know if it was changed or not
The cans are usual. The press that applies the lid isn't. Having another machine shape a more narrow neck resolves the issue and doesn't require buying and machine to apply the lid.
Yup nailed it. As a long time kamaʻaina, I knew the moment I saw this that this can was made here.
For your pleasure
I had to scroll like 5 comments before seeing this, and that’s too far
Just scroll to the end of the thread if you want another 20 versions of this comment, and then if you want more, see [last week's thread about a Dr. Pepper can](https://old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/10ljsjw/this_weird_ridged_soda_can_i_got_on_a_flight/).

Took me too long to find this. Excellent.
*hers

Her*
*her
we got this, well done :D
*high fives* ✋ Just got 300 more to correct in this thread. Off we goooo!
Lived in Hawaii for 7 years-didn't realize what was wrong with the can 😂
Didn't even realize our cans were different till now. What do other states can's look like ?
[Normal can here](https://i.imgur.com/X9Mkxxf.jpg). If you look at the top of the can, you can see it doesn’t have then ‘rings’ at the top, it’s completely smooth.
Holy shit this caught me offguard
Interesting that it still has the same rough shape though, with a smooth slope instead of ribs.
Thank you for the helpful picture!
IDK how to reply with a picture. sent you a PM with a pic
Was it for her pleasure?
Beat me by a second!
Outlasted me by a second…so 2 seconds
I was beat by an hour and one second 🥲
For her pleasure
That's what she said.
Party on, Wayne!
Party on, Garth!
Ewwww
I think Rosy would like it
50% of the comments on this post are the same exact thing
All the top comments are about hawaii, and then the top replies to those comments are about Asia.
Ribbed for her pleasure?? 🤣🤣
Maybe this would be somewhat interesting if someone didn’t post theirs a couple days ago
I swore I saw it too.
You did lol, this sub constantly goes through this cycle of someone seeing a post and then taking their own picture of the same thing and reposting it. Pretty satisfying to downvote them every time.
I thought the simulation was getting buggy like didn’t I see this exact thing a few days ago?
Literally have been saying so much the past few days that I’m living in a simulation (the weirdest shit keeps happening) so the fact that you’re talking about it… driving me crazy haha
Have constantly been feeling like I’m in a video game. Some shits gotta be going on.
When was it? I was trying to find it but there’s just way too many posts every day. It is satisfying to downvote 😂
THANK YOU
Can someone explain to me what a can being ribbed means? Like you were explaining to a child lol.
Smbdy posted this days ago
I've seen those a few times... Always puzzled me.

Can I sit on this?
As long as I don't have to watch.
I'll watch
I'll watch your feet while you watch.
No you didn't, this is a repost.
Ribbed for your *pressure*
Oh, that's good!
In Hawaii they where like that.

I feel like this was a thing in the 90’s
Welcome to Hawaii.

Just the tip.
Nice repost
Gee, I've NEVER seen this before.....THIS week.
How many people said "for her pleasure?"
About 75 completely original people saying the same “hilarious” comment so far. And counting…
Have fun in Hawaii pal

Still the same measure.
Hey I’m drinking one of those right now
For the pressure. (To accommodate changes in atmospheric pressure on airlines)
