Review # 267: Hunt’s tomato product cans
Dear Hunts,
I find it hard to believe that whoever designs your cans has been oblivious to the innovations of the twenty-first century. I’m not referring to your label, which is certainly modern enough for anyone’s taste, but rather the rigid clunkiness of the actual cans you use. My main gripe? They do not stack.
In one sense I can understand. It’s probably much cheaper to keep the same can design that you’ve had for however many decades you’ve been around. Nonetheless, you should reconsider “getting with the times”. Even Spam, with it’s ever-familiar, trademark key, now has a peel back lid on it’s can. It’s very disrupting to the flow of life when a can is placed on top of another and the top ring is met with a bottom ring of the same size, rather than a receded bottom that would fit nicely behind the lip of the top ring. Del Monte has done it. Muir Glen has done it. Now it is time for you to step up to the plate, and save us all the grief of canned food toppling off of shelves in our grocery stores.
Thank You,
Phil
