No one has asked this one yet.

Because the old paper oil cans with the metal tops were biodegradable, even the tin tops rusted away, the new plastic ones last a thousand years in the environment!

But this is a small price to pay to dodge all the liability law suits from you using a sharp oil can spout to pop the top on that old oil can and get that clean pour in the ol Shovel!
