Sorry people, for lack of posts. I have been trying to sort out somethings recently, with work, travel, friends, a new phone and a new laptop. Had dinner with Chloe two days ago in No Name bar, a place Me and Lu scouted for our Redbull shoot once upon a time. It was really good, in fact I think I had the best Yun Nan food in beijing that night, so I recommend that to all. The big story here is that Beijing finally has the type of soda cans that had the push-in kind of openings instead of the grenade rings, I was literally waving my arms in the air for this... improvement, hehe.
Believe it or not, I do know the reason behind two designs. The grenade ring was never intended for it to be fully pulled off, once it pops, it was designed for people to pull it far enough for them to insert a straw. This design exists in developing countries because product's retail environment isn't clean enough. To have the can come in direct contact with your lip would be regarded as something dangerous.
The new design, obviously needn't much explanation, it opens faster, pours out smoother, and you end up with kids that won't have a chance to play with the ring and cut them selfs by accident.
Back to in the restaurant, I was shocked, actually shocked at the coke can when the waitress brought it to me, look folks, Coke cans in Beijing, has finally changed to the western push in style!!!!!!!!! The grenade ring style can opening is disappearing FINALLY... I sat there in amazement for literally 2 minutes speechless. Now if Beijing can make the smokers disappear like they did with the old cans, that'll really be something.
