I was grocery shopping today for my dad, and while on my supermarket adventure, I was reminded that canned goods that don't stack really grind my gears.
We've all bought cans like this. Isn't it absurd? How long has processed food been stored in cans? Way before I was born, I know that. So why is it that some companies have not updated their can-making machines to round off the bottom of cans so that they will stack on each other? They are stacked in the boxes on the way to the grocery store, they are stacked on the shelves in the grocery store, and they are stacked at home in cabinets. The out-dated non-stack design of aluminum cans-of-gravity is such a worthless design, and it is illogical that manufacturers still make such abominations. I don't understand what these rebel cans have against the common consumer, but they grind my gears.

I would be suprised if there is anyone whose gears do not grind at the thought of non-stackable cans. I hate them.
Working in a grocery store I never noticed that cans don't stack. >.> Then again I was always sliding them across a register and it didn't really matter but still...thats awfully inconvienent.
