I was at the grocery story tonight, and saw that they were having a great deal on name brand canned veggies, with a sale price of 60% off retail. It was actually a significantly better deal than a case of the same veggies would cost me at Costco. So I picked up a couple of bags worth.
The odd thing that I noticed when I was putting the cans in my basket, was the pop-tops. Pop-tops? Who the heck uses pop-tops any more, (besides high end soups)? For as long as I can remember, over 80%, if not more of canned goods needed a can opener to open. Why are our nations canned goods now moving to pop-tops all of a sudden?
The first thing DOOM scenario that popped into my head, was that it seems like they are making it easier for people to get the cans open, if there was a power outage in order to eat.
I am NOT claiming this is all canned goods. However I went through isle after isle, and it seems like so many companies are going with the pop-tops. Soups, juices, baby formulas, tuna, etc.
Are pop-tops easier and/or cheaper to produce? Are TPTB prepping for a a power outage like what I described above?
Check your pantries, and report back here if you are seeing the same thing on your end.
Am I reading too much into this? Who knows, only time will tell.
