 But it's a bit more difficult to open those "long-cans" and "mini-cans" 
since they have a harder tab... (might hurt your nail by doing so, if not 
careful... well, these days, the companies that makes the cans are doing 
a better job in making the tabs more easier to open... but a few years 
ago... (they were a bit more difficult to oepn, compared to the large 
"cold drinks" can... ;_;)
