An empty Diet Coke can could be worth R200,000
A woman in Bristol, England who found an empty Diet Coke can missed out on a big payout by doing the most logical thing: opening it and taking a sip.
How much do you think an empty can is worth?
If it's a sealed Diet Coke can, the answer is "hundreds of thousands". Those who are lucky to find one of these cans, which come off the assembly line empty as a result of "a rare factory error that means the cans are filled up with just a small amount of liquid", are in for a big payday.
Bristol woman Dani Anders happened to purchase one of these cans and took to Twitter to see if anyone knew what on earth had happened.

She asked why her "Diet Coke break" had been so abruptly cut short and referred to the sealed empty can as a kind of "sorcery".
Diet Coke Great Britain responded to Anders, saying she should call them so they can "look into it".
The empty Coke cans are so rare that they often fetch large sums of money on shopping sites such as Ebay. The last sealed empty Coke can that went on sale fetched £11,000 (roughly R200,000).
Dani must be regretting opening the can and instantly scrapping its value...
