A teaser for the oldies: What's the connection between a Quality Street tin and a trials bike?

Maybe they are good storage container for bike parts?

a home made bike RGC at the ssdt in the late 70s had a flywheel cover made out of one

Good thinking, but not the answer I have in mind.

Every year they keep getting smaller, yet the price goes up? Just like trials bikes.

Good answer, but there was a far more common useage.

Hmm... maybe, but... nah. I used to boil my chain in a tin of that grease stuff (forgotten brand name) that melted when heated but the tin was about 10 inches in diameter - the tin in question is about... ooh... a mere five inches in diameter. If 'er indoors caught me boiling the chain on the cooker, I'd be in the doghouse.
