    Well probably because of the flavored and carbonated ones

    And people feel better about driving from a can than a plastic water bottle? I dunno

      The last point is always funny to me, because cans are plastic bottles inside of aluminum bottles. There is less plastic at least, I guess.

        There’s significantly less plastic in them, they only have to have a very thin coating to prevent the metal from oxidizing, vs having to be structurally supportive and retain its own shape. On top of that, aluminum is infinitely recyclable

          Yeah, I think the recyclability is the main thing: plastic bottles cannot be recycled into the same grade of plastic in most cases, whereas aluminium cans can be recycled back into more cans.
