As you have probably seen, this kind of container is used for the distribution or storage of goods. It is made of thin metal and that's why it is called a steel can, but also has other names like a tin can, tin, steel packaging, or can. This purple one probably was served as a container for some soda or Coke, but after being used this tin can was thrown away. That's why it looks so scared of something. But you can help this tiny can to be useful as a cute cursor pack with a cute tin can cursor.
