Coors made the original aluminum cans switching from steel cans and then the inner liner came next, all other companies adopted it. Then colored it blue ad a ad gimmick I worked on promoting beer for 20 years. All to make shitty beers have some taste quality.

Drain cleaner is mostly sodium hydroxide aka NaOH aka lye. It burns the aluminum and produces hydrogen gas + heat in doing so. You can have lots of fun with hydrogen gas, but be careful with the lye, that shit is very caustic.

One of the safest ways is to get a empty champagne bottle (they are more durable than wine bottles), add water, lye, and balls of aluminum foil. After the reaction clears the atmosphere out of the bottle, cap with a balloon. Once the balloon fills, tie it off, then you can either just watch it float, or ignite the gas inside :)

If you had a big enough reaction chamber, and vessel to hold the gas (like a 55 gallon trash bag) you could probably blow all the windows in your Minecraft neighborhood out.

The contents are as toxic as the container.

I feel like I’ve had enough

Aluminum coating is real along the plastic so that the metal does not alter the taste. Enough about that, I'm only interested into why you've linked it from imgur. For a 2.9 yr old user you should know by now that imgur has no power here.

Well the liner makes sense. It's a shame plastics tend to be horrible for you and leach all sorts of bad things into the foods and drinks, but some sort of liner is needed. Soda would probably eat through the can at some point. If it got a dent in it, without the liner, it probably would be too risky for companies to sell to you, even at a discounted rate, due to health concerns.

More like death concerns.

That there is the layer of cancer

analyticalalligator

Cancer wrapping cancer.

Even worse, that thin layer of cancer is the only thing protecting you from alzheimers!

Indeed. Now do the decent thing and finish the video by putting that beetus juice down the toilet where it belongs.

u_r_wat_u_eat

Ya most drink that come in a can shouldn't be drank to begin with.

Maroonsaint

What’s your diet like

u_r_wat_u_eat

don't play stupid, you know all i eat is your tight little ass

Maroonsaint

But really. What do you eat

Maroonsaint

Whaaaaat

Wapchinkqk

Probably only drinks water, maybe juice. With lots of fresh fruits, veggies, and meat.

Maroonsaint

That’s what I’m tryin to find out

ExLibris

Yeah, that's a plastic coating inside the can. They do that because aluminum reacts with the substances inside and alters the flavor of the drink within. A plastic coating prevents that.

Not entirely sure how that makes it 'fake' though.

It's actually so if the can dents it doesn't get bacteria and kill you. That is why today dented cans are fine but back in the day you had to throw them out. It also has the added benefit of reducing test because they use xenoestrogens in plastic! yay jews!

You're thinking of canned food. To this day, you still shouldn't eat food from cans with large dents in them. It has nothing to do with the food touching the metal, but if the dent was large enough to form microscopic cracks, that can allow bacteria and oxygen inside which creates the bacteria growth.

Soda is highly acidic and reacts with aluminum causing the drink to take on a metallic taste. The plastic does not react with the acidity of the soda, or at least, it is a few magnitudes less reactive.

Yay chemistry!

... which is why the put a malleable plastic coating on the inside to protect from baceteria growth in dented cans.

The above is why they were able to switch from glass.

Aren't you thinking about the tin coating in steal cans?

Reverse-Flash

Give me back one of the cans you stole and we'll find out.

BlueDrache

That would be the BPA liner that used to be in the tin/zinc-steel can.

Most cans I see at the grocery advert ✓Non BPA Liner!®©™ sceiße.

Look up BPA. It's an estrogen analog that would leech into the product.

allahead

Sometimes they just replace BPA with BPS, which is deceptive, and just as bad for you.

Caliope

Now that is some interesting stuff! Wonder what happens to the plastic when the cans are recycled?

SquarebobSpongebutt

It is burned off the same as the outer paint layer.
