Decades ago I ripped open a spray can of paint. What I believed to be a round metal ball inside to aid mixing the paint while shaking the can turned out to be a short, half-inch section of a closed coil spring.

This week I performed the same surgery to find a small round ball, albeit plastic.

Yea, I get bored at work also. I'd say that 90% of the spray cans I dissect are glass marbles and 10% are steel balls.
 
We're all gonna die, might as well smile beforehand!

If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die historic on the fury road!
 
Don't you hate it when you're trying to buy a can of spray paint in the self checkout and the paint "police" show up.
 
I opened dozens and dozens of old paint cans at work, they all had clear blue marbles. I gave them to my kids by the handful.
