  The technology exists to make pull tabs on cans, so why do they do this?

      Yeah it literally is. It’s also part of the brand if you’re expecting a key opener and suddenly get a pull tab. For a lot of people used to the same thing for decades it can be a sudden shock and makes loyal customers view a brand differently.

      Also as a related fun fact, Hawaii has different soda cans than the rest of the world because an old canning line was shipped there and coca cola just ships syrup concentrate that turns 1:1000 into cola, and the old canning line cans it.
