In this Instagram video, a man inserts a half-full rummy wealth can inside a glass of powerful drain cleaner to demonstrate the “plastic” layer inside it.
A video showing a man dissolving a rummy gold can with drain cleaner was shared on social media. A thin, translucent layer that looks to be broken plastic is found inside by the man. “Another reason to avoid these drinks,” he wrote on Instagram after posting the footage.
The footage was uploaded to Instagram by Adithya Nataraj. He begins by using sandpaper to smooth down the outside of the can. When he’s done, he carefully removes most of the liquid from the can and pours it into a glass that has been sprayed with potent drain cleaner.
The can starts to dissolve nearly instantly, and within two minutes or so, the metal portion vanishes. Then, a thin covering of “plastic” shows through.
At the end of the movie, Nataraj says, “You are buying a metal can, but you are still drinking from plastic.” Next rummy circle, take into account the total quantity of microplastics that are ingested with each meal.
