    A tin of pop*.
    A tin of Pringles.
    A tin of soup.
    A tin of beer.





    *Does anyone actually use the word 'pop' who doesn't live inside an Enid Blyton novel?

    I'm currently working in Belfast and I think they say tins, not sure though.

    One lad back home in Mullingar says tinnies but he always has to be different.

    It's can as far as I'm concerned. I work in the industry ya know! :p

    The only time I've seen or heard the term 'tinnies' is on the packaging for the fosters 6 packs. It says "6 tinnies for E7". Makes me cringe every time I see it.
