Big Red soda has deemed Nov. 1 as National Backwash Prevention Day, proving that anything can get a holiday of its own. The same brand that “invented” the Big Red pump bottle and Big Red BBQ Brisket bottle has now created the Big Red Backwash Can, to allow friends to share soda without the nasty side effects of backwash (accidentally spitting soda back into a can).  A supporting video shows a Big Red soda being shared with what appears to be every party attendee. When a partygoer questions drinking from the can, fearing backwash, his friend shows him that the can monitors the amount of backwash and purges it when threatening levels are reached. One man became collateral damage when he was doused with the can’s backwash. See it here.
