The Amazing, Spinning, "Up" Can!


The Amazing Spinning "Up" can is truely unique. No one quite knows how it spins, but it has been, and will continue to do so. There are many stories linked to the ancient "Up" can, ranging from curses to origination.

Some believe that the "Up" can holds a deadly curse. As the legend goes, if you stare at the "Up" can for an hour, someone you know will die. What? You don't believe me? Then go right ahead and try it. But remember, you can't look away even once, or else it won't work.

Many think the can comes originally from some era during the dark ages, during king Arthur's time. Some even believe that he once drank the contents, and refilled it, sealing it tight again. This is a mystery though, for many good minds say that there were no soda cans back then, but I have seen pictures, with Arthur holding the "Up" can.

Also a little known fact, the "Up" can does not contain what most people believe. The actual contents are Mountain Dew. Don't ask how I know, but through some chemical reactions through the years, 7 Up can turn to Mountain Dew! Only one of the strange quirks of the "Up" can!

So the question remains, how does it remain spinning? Well . . . there are two probable answers. One is that nine little ants are underneath it . . . constantly rotating it. A more popular theory is that it is the first device of perpetual motion. If modern scientists could yield the "Up" can's powers, then the options would be limitless.

Amazing . . . huh? 1
