  It's not visible or concealed damage, it really looks like poor QA. All cans (and it's always cans, not bottles) are visibly intact. Sometimes the can itself is "squishy" due to lack of gas. Other times they barely foam when poured. It's usually potable but wildly inconsistent in taste. Most are fine, but it's gotten too expensive to keep overlooking duds.

    When you say it I think I need to agree that cans have got flatter. I've noticed this in a lot of fields. Like small things stop being good. Like opening bags of spaghetti is impossible on many brands without scissors or having pasta everywhere after it bursts. When pulling the string on the foil around a cookie "foil cylinder" the string is misaligned with the cutout, so it doesn't work. Etc. I think the underlying issue is attrition. Workers have no time to get competent. Or the toxic management style of "not caring" is taking its toll and the senior engineers got fed up and quit instead of fighting management to make things good.
