Unchanged for nearly 50 years.

Actually, I have been using a new design in the Great Lakes region for almost ten years. Blitz made a can with no second hole and a thumb push button that works really well . . . No unscrewing the cap.

I don't know if tht's part of a mandate, and a mandate s stupid anyway, but the Blitz design was a good one. Blitz, I understand went out of business a while ago.

If it ain’t broke, gubmint hasn’t “fixed” it yet.

Blitz was sued out of existence because their cans contained something flammable and someone caught fire being stupid. (dumping gas on a fire if I recall).

I’m not saying it was lawyers... but it was lawyers that killed them.

The EPA forced Blitz out of business.

Some dirtbag lawyer sued Blitz out of business.
