Fun fact, a taller, narrower can uses more aluminum!
I thought it was the other way around. The thickest part of the can is the top, followed by the bottom. The sides are much thinner. I thought the reasoning behind switching to tall and narrow cans with the same internal volume was to save on aluminium.
Someone should weigh both and see!
The only real way, speculation by photo is not that great. They also could have made the metal thinner.
