The aluminum beer bottle is even more impressive.

Back in the mid seventies I was involved in the design of a mold that made plastic beer bottles. We shipped the mold and then the FDA said that the material used was banned for carbonated liquids.


Coors has or had a lot of patents for the aluminum cans and made a lot of money on licensing.



What can you make with a beer can? Maybe this.
