Aerosol cans?

I wonder if they'll be any cheaper? More to do with profits I expect.

Hmm, however would it not be better to let the user pump up the spray and then it only uses air.

I guess they must mean they are unchanged since the last pre-box-shrinking reduction in contents!

And if it is such a wonderful thing for them to have reduced the packaging, why on earth didn't they do it many years ago?

I was searching around for info on PET preforms before Christmas, and came across this site, so it seems there is at least some sort of "push" to reduce the amount of flammable propellant in aerosols

" ... last the same length of time as previous cans while using only 50 per cent of the propellant, ..."

How does it do that then? Higher pressure?

How are they measuring "last the same length of time"? Is that total duration of squibs or application of a given quantity of active product in a shorter squib? If the latter that ain't going to work in the real world, they'll just squib on like they always have.

Probably because the tissues come out of the box torn on the folds.

Most propellants are in liquid form in the can and they have to be compatible with the can contents. Some are flammable and some are not. The concern is with CFCs and the "hole" in the ozone layer.

Not as far as gullible consumers are concerned ...

Oh, has the time come round again for the ozone hole to be used as a stick with which to beat us?

Same with 'E numbers'. They forget that many of them are everyday stuff. Like E948.

Bought some shower gel today, first on the ingredients list was Aqua...

McDonalds was the first to use E-numbers:

'Old McDonald had a farm E1, E1, E10'

A dozen years ago my then GF was using various noxins (I hate 'pink' smells) from plastic bottles with simple, finger-operated, pump top. She gave me a few for dispensing _useful_ stuff, such as oil and WD40 mixed.

An awful lot of products have that stuff as the first ingredient. If they called it dihydrogen monoxide the gullible consumers would panic.

You can buy 5litre cans of WD40 CW with a hand sprayer, much cheaper.
