You! Use my trick for public display! I bring you to court!

Nahhh hahaha it's ok. But thou shalt credit me (and my hands) next time.

Priya, it's simple trial-and-error. The extended base at the bottom of the can creates a sort of small "ledge" you can balance the can on. All that's left to do is drink the contents till about 1/3 is left, then try to balance the can on the two ledges. Cannot, then, sip abit more, and abit more, and abit more. At the right volume, the physics of the weight and center of gravity of the water inside, at that particular angle, coupled with the more-than-usual stability provided by the combination of the two ledges, will leave the can magically tilted without support. Careful though, the can might loll around before settling into its most comfortable position.

Enjoy. Though it's actually an old trick haha.
