    Funnily, they no longer make either of these products. The glass jar division was sold decades ago, and the aerospace sector was purchased by BAE last year. Ball is still the largest manufacturer of aluminum cans, however. They also make plastic bottles.

      I like their idea of aluminum cups, but the boxes they come in are unfortunately made from plastic coated paperboard. (Not sure why, with their whole selling point being more environmentally friendly.)

          Great at conduction, but with not a lot of thermal mass, meaning that actually your drink will usually just make whatever it’s touching (your hand, often) super cold or hot.

              We’ve been storing and drinking beverages in aluminum cans for like a century now and this hasn’t been a big problem.

              Yeah, for sure. Though if you drink it fast enough, it won’t warm the drink noticeably before it’s gone.
