So that’s why glass tastes better

People can backstab you, partners can leave you, family can abandon you……but plastic will always be there for you

Wow, even when you think you got away from plastic, they sneak it in.

Coatings. There's always a thin plastic layer (coating) inside drink cans to protect the food or liquid and to protect the cans from corrosion. Every soda contains phosphoric and citric acid and it's thus necessary to add a hidden liner inside the can to prevent the beverage from reacting with the metal.

Glass is the last authentic form of drink storage

Glass is the way

"I'm not gonna lye." Love the science puns!

what we all thought chemistry class would be like

Saw this awhile back but they did the whole can. Half the can makes it look way more interesting to see both aspects of the can at once

So.... 🤔 how does the recycling process work for aluminum cans? Does the heat of the process just bun it up since it's a thin layer?

That would explain the headaches after turning a can into a makeshift pipe.

That's why I don't recommend smoking pot from soda cans.

Science was always my favorite subject in school

I learned this when I was four when I asked my dad why he never bought or drank out of dented cans.

I love the slightly panicked but mostly excited sprint to see the results.

I wish everything was still glass bottles they genuinely taste better in them and there's no plastic.

He's so fresh and hip. He says "not gonna lie" like all the kids. Because he's down.

I've been trying to avoid consuming plastic... Now I learn this

"It just fell over, something happened". Runs to it and it's still standing. 😂😂😂😂😂

More people have been injured or un alive in Gaza Jen o sidep than the number of people who have liked this comment… Think about that.

The high acid levels inside aluminum dissolves some of the aluminum can interior. And plastic bottles also. If I remember correctly, beer 🍺 is even more acidic than sodas. And this dissolves small amounts of the container into the contents, thus causing the funny taste. Glass bottles are free of this problem, glass does not react with acidic liquids. Vinegar is shipped to stores in glass bottles, or at least it used to be, to avoid the destruction of the container. And if shipped by railroad, the rail tank car's have a glass lining so that this does not happen to 8k - 12k + gallons. Thus destroying the tank car and causing a derailment. Thanks for reading this to the end. I now return you to your scrolling 📜 😒 🙃 🙂

Thank you 🙏 for your service!!!

I remember being mindblown that they coat aluminum like that. Didn't learn it until interviewing for a company making that plastic liner. PPG paints. Also, by anodizing Aluminum, I think it can resist acids without liners, but needs to be under controlled temperature, otherwise the Aluminum Oxide layer will crack deep. Also, yes glass tastes better all the way. Glass and porcelain is what the liquids we consume are meant to be stored in.

Yep, and in canned food tins also. It's so the acidity of the product doesn't react with the metal.

“Oh no, it just fell over!” *runs over to find it still standing*

Damn, microplastics are literally everywhere

ngl! i knew this from all the years of being on the internet!! but i watched this whole vid and liked it! just cuzza this man's enthusiasm about science and how happy he seems doing these little experiments!! love this cutie!

Very cool experiment. I did not know this. TFS! ❤

I knew glass bottles were the only non plastic method of drinking soda.

This makes Homer’s joke about “Voting for Prell to go back to the old glass bottle” relevant again lol.

This is what I love about KZfaq, you can just be browsing through clips of Beavis and Butthead, and then suddenly you see a video where someone says "Hey, wanna dissolve aluminum to see the inside of the can?". Ah, the internet.

my man got 'the cook' as a name tag😂

and thats why glass tastes better

Stuck my finger in a can to feel it and now i’m in the ER.

"He, even, protects his eyes with two pair of glasses on!" ❤❤❤

"It just fell over, something happened!" *sprints in scientist*

"Not gonna lye" 😂😂😂 My man dropped a pun and I almost didn't catch it.

"Did you know the ocean now has a plastic liner on the inside?"

Be glad the plastic is preventing you from drinking rust.

The Cartel Chemistry Kit. (Batteries Not Included)

This is another reason why you never smoke your weed out of a can

"It just fell over" **shows can still sitting upright**

This is one reason why we all have plastic in our bodies. I must say, I admire his knowledge

An Engineer friend of mine in college got a job at American Can and told me about the lining process of Al cans. Later in life when I was down in Baja I would see Surfers cooking a single fish inside a coke or beer can with the top removed an immersed in Pacifico beer on the hot Embers of a beach fire. Naturally I advised them to burn the cans clean in a fire the night before if you're going to cook that way. I explained why and my advice was dismissed as an urban legend and I was basically told to butt out since I went to college. I kept moving South and eventually ran into some Flat-Earthers on the beach in Costa Rica....when I started to explai...... Never mind.

This video made me ask why chemistry teachers didn’t have this guy doing cool tricks that’s educational for the whole class.

The plastic liner is so that the soda doesn't taste like metal. More or less so the soda doesn't corrode the aluminum. I've started a war _💀_

It just fell over - SOMETHING HAPPENED! That was the genuine ecstasy of the curious. 😂😂

"Were gonna scuff it up" completely sandpapers the shit outta it 😂

*Plastics & Oil Industry:* “All according to plan 🤑”

That makes sense. Whenever I drink from an thermos I can taste the metal but in a can I don't.

See this scientist actually makes learning fun. He doesn’t just say random science things like atoms and cells. He actually shows you the experiment and describes it like a normal person instead of like a robot.

That’s because when they first started putting beverages in cans, everybody complained that their beverage tasted like them even back in the day they used tin. So they started lining it in plastic.

Can we take a moment to gaze upon the fact that HE USED AN UNOPENED CAN

This is what we should be showing children.. not all that garbage on Tik-Tok..

“We’re going to scuff up the can a little bit” *Sands the design off of the can*

"So, someone is getting ripped-off!"

I would’ve had no idea plastic was incorporated into aluminum cans if it wasn’t for this video. It’s inescapable

Idk why this was recommended but damn that looks like fun.

That “hWhat!?” Was so wholesome

Right when you thought you were avoiding bpa, they still get you

Mind. BLOWN. I'm really bummed I didn't have teachers like this in high school. I would have loved science SO much more and gotten better grades.

This is remarkable. 65 years old, and learning something new every day.thanks.

i know spongebob became an aluminium can

"Going to scuff up the outside a little bit..." *removes all the pigment, leaving the metal*

"cans taste better" crowd is shook....including me 😂

“Not gonna lye” slickest chemistry pun delivery ever, 10/10😂 take my like and subscribe science man 😂

I was 22 years old, a month and 3 days before learning that drinking cans have a plastic liner in them.

I worked on the spray line at a can plant. It's cool to see how it looks without the can.

Another reason micro plastics are in our blood. I think that we need to go back to reusable bottles. They worked fine for decades, so why fix something that isn't broken?

so nobody is going to speak on the fact that the can was disintegrated but the bottom stayed fully intact?

The early 80's had a sort of liner too but the cans were thicker....I use these cans as penny stoves Perfect to heat up a coffee

Honestly, my first reaction after hearing the "did you know aluminum cans have a plastic liner on the inside" question, I expected this to turn into an anti plastic rant

If science class was like this i promise u i would have been way, way more engaged

If this guy was my science teacher back in the day, I might’ve been interested in it!

When we did this in class I drank a bit of the Sodium hydroxide after the can had dissolved. It was very, very bitter.

"It just fell over! Something happened!" Can- I'll show him

If you were my teacher in high school, chemistry would have been my favorite class!

This man was so surprised & satisfied with the outcome of this experience that I’m just genuinely happy for him. 😎

Welp... I'm glad I ain't smoke out of cans in high school

"I'm not going to lye" 😅🤣😂 That was a great cheesy joke! Wait...but he DID lye 😂😅

You're never too old to learn something new, thank you.

Bill Nye been real quiet after this dropped

"were just going to scuff up the outside of the cup" Proceeds to nuke the paint on half the cup

The next experiment will show there's plastic in the coke glass bottles too. The glass ones are still available, but I think they're smaller than they once were

The plastic liner is to keep the acids in the soda from eating through the aluminum can. Also, they use thicker plastic liners in energy drinks, like Monster, because they were corroding the soda can liners. We drink this stuff!!

"It fell over, something happened!" Doesn't sound like the best thing to hear in a lab. 😂

Can you imagine what a cool dad he probably is?

My mind just went KA-BOOM !!!

This is what chem teacher Phil does when he's supposed to be watching the kids in detention...

Clarence Thomas: “There’s a condom in my Coke can.”

It's not a liner. It's a coating applied to 1 side of the aluminum sheet before the can is formed.

Sometimes science is more art than science.

“Not gonna lye” Hilarious

Makes sense. Soda contains a caustic chemical, so it would corrode metal over time.

Aluminum cans from years ago were much thicker than they are nowadays, so manufacturers added a layer of plastic film to keep the cans from popping when shaken or heated.

-Men watch science video:😮 -Men happy.🧔🏽

Nothing like a sodium hydroxide bath at the end of a long day.

Everyone is worried about plastic in the drinks yet modern plumbing uses plastic pex tubing which means EVERYTHING YOU DRINK HAS PLASTIC IN IT

That's actually pretty scary how hard it is to destroy that plastic film. We should probably do everything we can to lessen its use!

That's actually pretty cool! Thanks for sharing!
