An illustrated view of an exemplary lid for protecting a top of a beverage can is presented. The lid is useful for protecting the top of the beverage can from dirt, grime and bacteria which may be inadvertently gathering on the top of the beverage can. The dirt, grim and bacteria may cause disease, illness, a distasting of a beverage of the beverage can, etc. The lid has a bottom surface and an interior side surface. The interior side surface of the is an opposite side of the side surface of the top of the lid. The interior side surface of the lid is preferably has a ribbed pattern. The bottom surface of the lid has an opener which is also used to secure the lid to the top of the beverage can.

A beverage container with aerosol-emitting device, comprising an opening device arranged on an outer side of the beverage container for opening a drink-through opening cover and an aerosol-emitting device attached to an outer side of the beverage container, which aerosol-emitting device comprises a pressure container for receiving and storing a pressurized propellant gas and a substance to be emitted, a nozzle fluidly connected to the pressure container for emitting an aerosol formed from the propellant gas and the substance to be emitted, and a triggering device for opening the nozzle, which releases the aerosol upon actuation.

The invention relates to a plectrum (1) comprising a flat member (2) that is generally sector-shaped form a top view and has an inner face (3) and an outer face (4) from a top view, the outer face (4) having a larger peripheral size than the inner face (3). The invention is characterized in that the flat member (2) is a single piece, a slot (5) which extends into an opening (6) for a rotary bearing is provided on the inner face (3), and the flat member (2) simultaneously forms a rotatable protective clip-on-part for open beverage cans (8) or the like.

A system and method for laser marking can ends, especially pull tabs, includes coating a portion of the can end and/or pull tab with a lacquer having a photonically active material and directing a laser to the lacquer to alter the appearance of the of the photonically active material to form an image, especially a high resolution image. The decorated can end and/or tabs may have a high resolution image.
