i cursed the sky first time i used one of those pieces of shit. i kept thinking, why in the fuck do manufacturers have to keep reinventing the wheel here, its a fucking gas can!?
first gas can - rigid spout with cap. no issues at all
second - a whippy hose thing that recesses into the can in which one has to get their fingers gassy to extract. a bit of a PITA, but more than tolerable
third - a whippy hose attached to some funky lever action valve in which you have to unlock a safety and press lever at same time to pour. more of a nuisance than anything, but at least it doesnt leak.
fourth - that damn abomination of twist the collar and press down to pour while watching gas leak and spill from every crack and seam. i solved that problem with a funnel....now i gleefully pour gas with vapors "pouring" out into the atmosphere. i would rather have that than paint on me, the ground, or whatever i need to put gas into.
i'm guessing blitz was the usa maker of plastic gas cans that got shut down, as i cannot find that brand anywhere now.
