5. Pasta
6. Evaporated milk
7. Soups

Because a lot of senior citizens get some of these items, a lot of cans now have the new 'pop-top' feature which makes for easier opening instead of using a can opener.
I understand that the "pop-top" is supposed to make life easier - and I can see that it would if one is living on the street - but sometimes I need a pliers to hold on to that little tab to be able to get it off.

Also - one needs to watch out for those edges - they are sharp!
