Is this blood?

[Lace]

Fair warning this is probably a dumb thread.

Decided to grab a Dr. Pepper for lunch out of the box I bought from Costco. I noticed there was some brownish red gunk on the top and decided to wash it off. In the past I found it common for there to be dried up soda on some cans probably die to processing in the factory. However when I flipped the can over I got concerned (see above image). Is it blood?

Edit: looks like it's an ID mark on the bottom. Who knows what was on the top. Probably just the solution to a Netflix murder I washed away. The more you know. Requested thread closure.

Doesn't look like dried blood, no.

Edit: elaborating, it looks thinner than blood usually looks, and blood usually has a darker colour, specially when it dries out. Source: I used to work with blood analysis.

old blood is way darker

Hot sauce.

There's a really good chance that's blood :/

Best to toss the case and acquire new soda.

Edit: ok, switching over to Team Not Blood.

Doesn't look like it. Dried blood would almost always be much darker - almost brown in color.

If you drink from that can you will forfeit your soul and become one with the night.

[MGPanda]

Definetely doesn't look like it.

 

[MinusTydus]

How would anyone be able to tell from a picture? Take it to a lab for analysis.

Ohhh I didn't realize that was a thing. Probably just stamped with red ink then. Good to know! Requested thread closure.

Man, you shouldn't have edited this. Your one simple word swap drastically changed the meaning of the song in a surprisingly interesting and thoroughly disturbing way.

Hope this is not Chris's blood

 

[StopMakingSense]

Only way to know OP is to lick it. If it tastes like metal, you are already dead.

 

[Mirage]

That's definitely not blood.

 

[DJ_Lae]

It's just dried pop spatters from the packing facility.

Or someone murdered a clown.

It's not 6AM on a Sunday and I'm not in a suit, so I'm gonna go ahead and say it's not the blood of Chris.

 

[NinjaScooter]

even if it were somehow, do you think it is going to seep through the aluminum and into the drink itself?

Going in for the kill, damn.

This is clearly potential evidence for a murder. 🧐

My main concern was it was the brownish/red gunk on the top before I washed it off. If it was blood I wasnt going to be sipping off that.

...brownish red gunk?

That seems way more alarming than a dot on the bottom of the can?

Got any pictures of the gunk itself? Are they on more cans?

Yeah bro that's totally something they teach everyone in grade school.

[TheStebe]

I think its because it tells the machine what colour the can should be in the printing process.

My first thought was that scene in the beginning of the Incredible Hulk.

Well you have to read the thread to realize it's the brownish red gunk on the top to see why I even would be concerned about the bottom.

Take a chill pill.

 

[ToTheMoon]

This is the murder weapon...and now your fingerprints are all over it.

Was expecting to see something else, and then ask if you had been eating beetroot. ;)

Can you wash it off because that looks like dye.
