I agree with you I do noy find the ‘pull-tops’ as being study enough for my taste. And don’t buy them if there is an alternitive. Many of the sotre brands are just as good and they are in still in the regular cans. Someone else noted that they tought that cans now days aren’t as thick walled I tend to agree as they do seem to dent much easier than they use to.

I agree that they aren't as solid walled cans as they used to be .
The "PULL TOP" lids seem to be thinner and less secure, but I wanted to run that observation by you .
I used to stock up on "Pregresso" canned soups, which seem to be 'thicker walled' cans for LTS, until I read the nutritional label and saw the sodium content.. WOW !
I bought "Stagg Chilli" at Sams/ Wal-Mart,LTS sturdy can, best tasting chilli I ever had !! Nutritional table says it has almost 2 1/2 times daily sodium per serving. Dam !

I have learned my lesson !
Go READ THE NUTRIONAL TABLES on Long Term Storage (LTS) cans if you have medically restricted diet, or have self-imposed dietary concerns!

They may be great tasting .. for your survivors !
For me , .. I am going to go to LTS with store brands with solid tops which need a can opener
Which reminds me , I need two additional can openers
