        I thought that was just coca-cola (and probably other colas) due to the acidity?

          I think on the one hand, many many things in cans are acidic. Any sparkling beverages, anything with tomato, anything with added acid as preservative, with citrus, etc.

          On the other hand, all the cans have the lining and tend to sit in hot warehouses and trucks and ships for weeks, if not months or even years, before being consumed. I don’t know if every can is releasing as much as a soda, but they all have it and it would be hard to believe that less acidic canned goods are not having leeching

            I looked it up and I kept seeing “most cans have plastic linings” but I couldn’t find anything stating what things didn’t so I’m gunna’ assume it’s all of them and maybe it’s just like canned meat or some niche items or something that doesn’t have the plastic lining.

              Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s all of them these days but maybe there are some specialty canning spots.
