      The inside of the can is lined by spray coating an epoxy lacquer or polymer to protect the aluminum from being corroded by acidic contents such as carbonated beverages and imparting a metallic taste to the beverage.

      Ya good point, plasmadistortion. Recyclable aluminum cans are worse than plastic bottles. So glad you came here to share your wisdom with all of us. What other gems do you have?

        It depends on your underlying goal.

        Less waste? Great!

        Not consuming microplastics and PFAS? Cans might as well be the same thing

        Lemmy has become a toxic place thanks to people like you. I made a simple comment and instead you felt the need to be a jerk.
