The Pop Can is an empty metal soda can left after the drink is finished. The game files it as junk, but it still has a few uses.
The can holds a little liquid, so it works as a small drinking container. Make Can Pipe turns it into a Can Pipe for smoking tobacco. Make Gas Mask Filter accepts any empty can to build a Gas Mask Filter - Crafted. Its metal can also be scrapped.
The can comes in several looks, one for each pop flavour. Every look works the same way. Most come from drinking a can of pop, and boxes and bins are full of them.
Uses
Make Can Pipe is the simplest craft. It takes one empty can and a sharp knife, sewing needle or awl to punch the holes. The tool is kept and no skill is needed. The result is a Can Pipe. A filled pipe then smokes loose tobacco from a Pouch of Tobacco.
Make Gas Mask Filter takes an empty can as the filter body. The result is a Gas Mask Filter - Crafted for a gas mask.
As a container, the can holds about a third of a litre. That is enough for a few sips of water on the move.
The can is mostly metal, so it yields a fair amount when scrapped or melted.
How to Get Pop Can
Finishing a can of Cola, Diet Cola or Ginger Ale leaves an empty Pop Can behind.

Locations
Empty cans are a very common find. Cardboard boxes and small boxes in any building hold them more often than not. Garage storage is just as good. Bins in any building hold one about a fifth of the time. Late game survivor safehouses keep them on counters and in fridges. Living room dressers and side tables turn one up only rarely.
