charles expressed precisely :

They got them from the BBC lol

We have a winner!

Or dropped while being stacked on the shelves.

I doubt the metal could be made much thinnner than it is on the premium brands, although I'm open to correction.

Still available from the factory shop at Cadbury World.

I suspect that Saver tins are delivered shrink wrapped on a pallet. No cardboard trays or anything. Absolutely minimal packaging to keep costs down. Branded stuff will be in trays of 12 or 24.

The saver tomatoes etc are shipped on shrinkwrapped cardboard trays of 64 or

96 or whatever because they sell large volumes of them, while the branded ones are shipped in trays of 24 because there's umpteen different versions so the turnover of any given type is lower. The larger trays have less rigidity and are heavier so easier to drop.

There are also sometimes bulging tins on the shelves. Doesnt mean you can eat them without harm!

It probably isn't a good idea to eat the tins.

Unless you're anaemic.
