Although the orange juice comes in 300ml per tin, I think it is
still enough for me. I will get six tins of drinks and I could share
the drinks with my siblings and friends. This will save my
budget.Besides, it is packed in aluminium tin which is light and easy
to take to picnics or schools. Other than that, it is very easy to
open and it could be recycled. I can use the empty tin to make a

pencil holder and it would be nice to me. Based on these reasons I

think it is the best choice for me.
