Very glad that my dumb ass probably has like 10% less plastic in my brain than most people my age because I never smoked out of cans. Thanks, paranoid teen me!
There’s actually a thin plastic membrane on the inside of most cans. It helps preserve the taste of the product. There’s a couple cool chemistry videos on YouTube where they use acids to dissolve the metal without damaging the plastic, leaving a weird bag of soda with a can lid.

Plastic in brain from cans? Cans made of aluminium. I am confused. 🫤

I’m hoping my metal water bottle helps
