    …do people think the tall can is bigger? If anything, I’ve always assumed that they were smaller 🤷‍♂️

        In my highschool psych class we actually went to an elementary school and did this experiment with the kiddos. It was a while ago but if I recall correctly, 9/10 times they thought tall = bigger. I bet some people never grow out of that mindset or at least at first glance our less smart brain goes “tall is big!”

          I guarantee these big corporations have psych majors working in their marketing teams and it’s 100% intentional.

            Oh for sure, it’s definitely a whole wing of the organization. People are the ones who spend money, so if you want more money, study and exploit the people who spend it.

      They do have a larger surface area for the same volume…

      Same. They look like the small 25 cl energy drink cans, so even if they’re still 33 cl, they look smaller.
