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?
What bougie venue you been to that uses anything more fancy than a clear solo cup? Every concert I’ve been to in the last… 5 years at LEAST has been either a plastic bottle with the cap removed, a clear plastic cup, or a liquid death.
At least here in Germany everyone is selling drinks (beer as well as Softdrinks) from the tap in cups with usually 1 or 2 euros as a deposit so people don’t throw them to the ground and create a hazard
Often the cups are also branded from the band so I collected a couple over the years

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.
Lemmy is a toxic place since people talk about it stuff they know nothing about and than get bitchy when someone points it out.

It is not better than plastic bottles. A plastic bottle lets you re-close the container.
I assume they meant environmentally better. Much easier to recycle metal than plastic.
Which concert doesn’t sell drinks in (reusable) cups?
And for festivals I still will go with some 5L canisters full of water over a lot of cans

I’m not a huge festival goer but last time I was at one there were faucets from where you could just refill your bottles - for free.
Outdoor festivals are likely treated a little differently than indoor ones.
I’ve been to several concerts that pour all drinks into a plastic solo cup.
