🤔 **[The ingenious design of the aluminum beverage can.](https://youtu.be/hUhisi2FBuw)** Thing I learned: Though an empty soda can is easy to crush, a full can supports the weight of a grownup with ease because its walls are equally pressurized, holding it rigid. Its strength comes from pressurized contents (relatable).
