My favorite part is the end: they made it 100x cheaper with aluminum. Aluminum is suspected to cause alzhiemers.

That's the issue with "cheaper" resources. But eh, that's what most sodas come packaged in. Plastic is probably worse, since it is synthetically derived from fossil fuels. Had a professor once say that a philosopher once wrote that at the collapse of the Chinese Bronze Age, everyone had gone mad. He suggested that since the elites used bronze to store food and drink it: it was mad lead poisoning. Which causes Alzheimer's. Makes sense I guess. Metal doesn't mix well with consumable goods.

Edit: got my info on aluminum directly from a friends mom works in a lab studying Alzheimer's.
