45 Things With Mysterious Purposes People Couldn’t Identify

To be honest, canned coffee (and other canned drinks, for that matter—but coffee in particular) never seemed very appealing to us. If you ask us, coffee should be consumed when it’s fresh. We wonder if this person gave up canned coffee after finding this strange thing floating inside a can of Monster Coffee.

He took a photo of the “squishy thing” and shared it with the Reddit community to get some answers. One person suggested that “the milk solids from the condensed skim milk fell out of solution and combined within a matrix of sodium alginate to form a gum”. Yum. We’re pretty sure this person was just as grossed out even after he got his answer.
