(Uncanny) Canned drinks ?

Do you see the dirt in the paper towel?

Well, this is how it started. Thought of having a drink and when I open the refrigerator, I found it filled with cans. Choose the guava - the one I like the most. As usual, showed it in tap and wiped it out with a paper towel. I was about the open the seal and thats when I noticed it.

It looked to me that the rim is still black. Out of curiosity, I folded the paper towel and with the sharp edge started wiping the rim thoroughly. When I finished this is what I got.

I have read about articles that say "be careful with canned drinks, quite possible that the elements in the rim may lead to serious disease". And here is the real proof !

Be careful when you get your next canned drink - be it a soda, a light beer or my way a simple fruit juice - you gotta be careful.

In the can that I had, it was just dirt. But there used to be some famous scaring stories that rats in the warehouse may shit on the cans and can lead to deadly diseases.
