How to play
Tap it to knock it into a spin. Pick its label under Look in the Splash tab.
Notes
Food is sealed inside and heated to kill germs, so it stays good for years. Cans were invented in the early 1800s, but a handy can opener came only about 50 years later; before that, people used a hammer and chisel.
Tap it to knock it onto its bottom rim: it spins around on the rim faster and faster, like a coin settling, and drops flat with a clank. Under Look in the Splash tab, pick a peaches label, a tomatoes label, plain metal or the original scan.
