I know aluminium forms a protective layer of aluminum oxide and hence water does not corrodes it easily.
However, since the oxide is amphoteric, won't it react with acids and subsequently be dissolved?
What is the main reason aluminium cans are used?

The cans are coated inside to prevent corrosion.

Aluminium cans are cheap, they get cold faster and are a convenient size to pack.
I like the bottles of soda that use plastic, but they are harder to pack up and stack than the aluminum cans.
