Come on people!! Can of Coke isUSA lingo, which we have embraced! Remember, most cansfor beer and beverage are aluminum and other foodproduct metalcontainershave a small amount of tin.It was always a tin of beans, or anything in a metal container. I lived as an evacuee, in many places in England, both north and south and it was always called a tin.We are becoming bilingual. Blame Mr. Webster!!As a useless bit of information, millions of Dollars were saved by making the top of beer and beverage cans smaller, consequently making the lids smaller!!
