Question:

How the shape of a soda can is chosen?

for a standard 350ml soda can, according to calculus, to minimize the surface area (material used to build it) of the can, the shape of soda can should be fatter than it is on the market today.so why did they design the can in its current shape?is it so people can grab it easier?i also noticed the can have thicker material on the top and bottom, is the reduced radius to help reduce material on these sections?

Answer:

No.Whatever the fruit thing is, it can't charge your tabletThe only to charge it is through the charging port.
Mathematically, the most efficient packaging (the shape that holds the most volume with the least amount of material) is the sphereIdeally, that should be used for such things as cans of soda, swimming pools, and buildingsBut in practical terms, you have to take into consideration the most efficient ways of stacking and transporting cans, using swimming pools for exercise, and putting doors, windows, and furnishings in a buildingSo the designs you see are compromises to both - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Additional details: I'm not sure i can answer that part of the question, I'm not sure why the shape chosen isn't optimal minimum surface areaMaybe it has something to do with shelf space available in grocery stores or vending machines (the thinner the can the better?) or maybe has to do with the metal-working machinery that makes the can, or even the available sizes of the aluminum roll stock that the manufacturers can purchaseBut that's all conjecture, I really don't know for sureIt's a good question.
