Boddington's Pub Ale
I seldom drink anymore but do have the occasional beer or glass of wine with supper. Sometime back, a friend gave me a 4 pack of Boddingtons Pub Ale in one pint cans as a sort of jab about being an F1 fan in NASCAR land.
I finally drank one today and was amazed to hear something rattling around in the can as I drank more of the stuff. I finally cut the can open hoping to not find the skeletal remains of a dead mouse although that would have explained the flavor. Instead, and to my great relief, I found a little clear plastic thing that kind of resembles a small spinning top toy. I have ruled out a failed terrorist bomb and some sort of promotional gimmick that will allow me to tour the Wonka factory.
What is this thing and why is it in a can of ale?If legislation makes you equal, you aren't.

It's a 'floating widget', fairly common to find a widget in cans of beer over here
You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

My widget doesn't look like the one in the link video, but then again, that's what they all say, isn't it? CO2 gas huh....so they going to put a carbon tax on a can of beer now?

I'd be more concerned about an emissions tax on the post-consumption effects :
