The OP was not asking a question.

That said, what makes you think a soda can and a beer can look different?


The difference is the label and the contents.

My reply was 'tongue in cheek'

Maybe just me, but 12 oz beer cans look TOTALLY different than 12 oz soda
cans. Haven't bought any in loooonnnnng time, so maybe the two are now the
same.


Just to make sure I'm not crazy, I just compared a Miller Lite
beer can to a Coke can. They are virtually identical, except
for the labeling. And from recollection, they've been that way
for a long time. Even when they were slightly different, I don't
buy that a cop could see if you're drinking a beer or soda from
the shape of the can while you're driving in a car.
Not unless he's so close that he can easily figure out
which one it probably is from the color/labeling.




Yep.


Even if the cans were a bit different no cop could tell from a distance
unless he saw the label.


I recall at one time there were (probably still are) fake labels for
soda you could wrap around a beer can so allow you to drink beer in
public places where drinking beer was not allowed.
