in the original question, the character in question bought the can from a vending machine. I think the question at hand is what the common Japanese practice in having prepared coffee in a can is. we are looking at it in the context of how Americans and Europeans do their coffee, and that is not necessarily how the Japanese do their coffee. once we have the answer to that, it should make sense. I know I worked with a guy whose coffee practice was to use a method that produced room temperature coffee and then to heat the coffee for consumption - which he felt made superior coffee. In that case you can certainly get vending machines that sell chilled drinks on the street, and I understand from friends that visited there you can get almost anything, including clean underwear from a vending machine in Japan. But I take your point about differences in style of drink, I have workmates that make tea in the Indian Chai style, boiling the tea,milk, sugar and water together rather than the normal British way. They managed to ruin a kettle at work when they tried to to that in the break room So Chilled Coffee it is... I suppose I could have just taken it as a can of beverage, and that makes sense, rather than my original thought "Can of coffee" being how we normally buy coffee, UN-Made, in our corner of the planet. BTW, "Chai", I have tried that, its bloody awful, they insist on putting rather a lot of sugar in it... Way WAY much more than the usual "Builders tea" two, more like three or four per cup?..

Dagashi Kashi, episode #3
Premise: The male lead is a teenage boy named Coconuts. His eccentric father Ko is the owner of a small-town candy shop and does other odd jobs around town. Ko wants Coconuts to take over the shop so as to keep it in the family, but while Coconuts is a natural salesman he finds the whole thing a bore and would rather set out on his own path. This conflict comes to a head when an even more eccentric teenage girl named Hotaru rolls into town. Hotaru's family owns a major candy company, and her parents want to hire Ko on as a sales rep. Even though it's the offer of a lifetime, Ko won't go unless Hotaru can convince Coconuts to take over the shop.
Episode: In the second half of the episode (starts at about the 13 minute mark), Hotaru goes to the shop to talk with Coconuts. Instead, she discovers that his friend To is running the shop while Coconuts does some errands. To is more interested in Hotaru than in anything having to do with candy, and so he doesn't actually know the first thing about what he's selling. This leads to much confusion when To encounters a type of chewy candy whose wrapper he can't remove; he doesn't know that the wrapper is made of an edible rice paper (yes, such candies exist in real life; I've had some) and so he doesn't need to remove it.
Myth: Hotaru decides to deal with matters by taking a piece of the candy and throwing it at To like it's a fastball. The candy lands in his mouth, at which point the narrator explains that even though the candy is now in his mouth, it's still spinning fast enough to dissolve that much more quickly.
So - how badly injured would someone be if they tried to do this at home?

Dagashi Kashi, episode 4
Start point: 10:35 mark (approximately)
Premise: To and his sister Saya work at the cafe owned by their parents. Coconuts is a common visitor. During a visit, To sees that Coconuts is doing sketches of some locals, including Saya and Hotaru. This leads to To grabbing the sketchbook and making some off-color comments in it. This leads to a bit of an argument, such that Coconuts inadvertently leaves the book at the cafe. It's not until he's back at the candy shop, which is 1500 meters away, that he realizes what has happened. If he doesn't get back to the cafe before Saya finds the sketchbook, he's toast.
He's "saved" when Hotaru offers him a pack of Glico-brand caramel chews. The packaging boasts that one chew is good for 300 meters, and even depicts a runner on the box. According to the show, they make the claim because one caramel is 16 kilocalories, which they say is enough for one person to have a "running pace" of 160 meters per minute for 300 meters (it's explained that this is considered a running pace because traditionally, 80 meters per minute is regarded as a walking pace in Japan). The plan is for both of them to grab a caramel every 300 meters of the trip to the cafe as a quick calorie boost to keep them at this pace.
Myth: Can any type of caramel chew or other sugary candy function in the fashion depicted in the episode? The episode depicts an immediate energy boost, which I find unrealistic; I'm thinking that it may be more psychosomatic than anything else, especially given the plot twist that Hotaru didn't eat one of her caramels just in case Coconuts needed an extra one to make the final leg and yet she ran the missing 300 meters at the same pace.
BTW, the whole bit with Hotaru giving Coconuts her last chew took so long (a result of the writers using it to spoof action-adventure tropes) that no, he didn't make it back in time...

(I guess back then they didn't take their insulin without eating, but imprecise blood sugar testing means meant the dosage wasn't as precise) my understanding is the hard candy was made with highly refined sugar, which would absorb most rapidly. of course, glucose paste is now the go-to remedy, and I have seen a person in a total diabetic crash become nominally functional in the time it takes to get about halfway through the dose of paste. now, having the effect be that distinctive in a healthy person and as precise as you mention - I call artistic license.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, season 1, episode 26 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JoJo's_Bizarre_Adventure_(anime)#Battle_Tendency A super-powered British 19-year-old (Joseph) and a Nazi colonel (Von Stroheim) find themselves as the only people standing between a vampire with a god complex (Kars) and the rest of the world. When Kars acquires an artifact that grants him immunity to sunlight, JoJo and Von Stroheim come up with the idea to lure him into an active volcano in the hopes that the lava will destroy him. This sets in motion a chain of events that leads to the volcano erupting. The force of the eruption throws the large chunk of rock upon which JoJo and Kars are standing into the air. Kars thinks he's won because he can fly to safety while JoJo will simply plunge to his death once gravity takes over, but karma actually comes to bite him. A second explosion throws large quantities of smaller rocks into the air at what the narrator specifically states is "escape velocity". JoJo is protected from this by the larger rock he's on, but Kars - who is in mid-air - is struck by a number of these rocks, which succeed in carrying him into space, where he eventually freezes in the vacuum. JoJo, meanwhile, has enough of the large rock still underneath him that it keeps his body from directly impacting the ocean when gravity does kick in. He's ultimately recovered by the crew of a fishing boat, and is back on his feet after two months' rehabilitation from his injuries. 1. If enough objects are traveling at escape velocity and they impact something that's in the air, can conservation of momentum finish the job of carrying that something out into space? 2. Would being atop a large chunk of Earth actually protect someone from injuries they might sustain when that chunk of Earth splashes down?

Despite why the narrator says a volcano on a Earth cannot erupt with enough force to expel ejecta that travels at sufficient velocity to escape its gravity, it would not happen. Escape velocity is around 11km/s were tthe velocity of ejecta is measure more in the hundreds of metres a second.

Escape velocity is around 11km/s were tthe velocity of ejecta is measure more in the hundreds of metres a second. however, taken as a mathematical puzzle, in theory if you take an object and repeatedly hit it with objects traveling above a threshold velocity, eventually the original object would cumulatively be accelerated above the threshold. whether it would take more than in the show is down to number crunching. as for the rock splashing down with him on it, that seems to be a testable concept. there would be some challenge getting a body of water to drop things in, since I suspect most places with a big enough body of water would object to dropping massive rocks in them at high velocity, but they might be able to do it in the pond they usually blow stuff up in.

I studied this back in school, when some kid tried to say that using a large rock to "Break the surface" up could allow you to dive from great heights. [Its also similar to the myth of a falling elevator, if you jump just before impact, you can survive that fall.?]
A body at speed stays at speed... Until it goes splash?.
And saying that, dropping a RIB off the top of a 20ft wave Hurts unless you have a padded seat?. So saying that, falling from height into water, even if you are sat on a big rock, is sort of the same as falling onto a solid bit of ground, because the water, at the kind of speed involved, with resist that rock smashing into it quite a bit, and unless you legs are made out of super shock absorbers, its going to break something, and then your spine gets shoved upwards into your skull at the same time. Do not try this at home. You all remember the drop Busted did into water from the height of a crane?. The human frame is quite fragile above a certain speed, that speed into water, although not as drastic as they say "Its like hitting concrete", it is quite like hitting water at speed, it bloody well hurts, and having a solid body underneath you, like a boat, even if you have a padded seat, there is a certain height that if you go above that, your getting hurt a LOT...
We looked at the idea of that big rock and a diver. Unless your arms are stronger than your legs, your getting that rock in your teeth.

It's the rapid deacceleration that causes the problems, it's the problem same as jumping up in a lift that is falling that Jamie and Adam tested, you and the rock that you are standing on are still within the same inertial frame of reference there is no benefit to standing on the rock that is falling,

We looked at the idea of that big rock and a diver. Unless your arms are stronger than your legs, your getting that rock in your teeth. the Mythbusters have previously done drop your hammer below you to break the surface tension, water hard as concrete, and something about a mattress and a swimming pool. however, I think falling into water sitting on a rock might be sufficiently different to give a new data set. in the first place, you are dealing with a much larger mass hitting the water, so it might decelerate more slowly than just the person. in the second, it is higher density than a person, so it would not tend to go "whack" quite as significantly as a boat or a barrel. (thinking of the people who have jellied themselves going over Niagara falls - it seems going over unprotected is more survivable than going over in something bouyant) so the questions in my mind are "would the rock and person combination take less impact on impact than the person, alone?" and if that worked, the next would be "how much farther could the fall be before it would still be damaging?" and "how much does the size of the rock change things" and, of course, "does the show still have Jamie's big balls" it occurs to me that with rocks weighing up to a ton, they could use the method the nutbars who race snowmobiles on water use: a basket connected to the rock, with an empty bottle attached to the end of a sufficient length of "Mule Tape" that they can pick up the bottle with a boat, and secure that to their crane. - if they use concrete for their rock, they can have a lifting eye embedded in it.

I have another thought... Stand back, this may get stupid, but, in being stupid, it may have a sense of almost intelligence.
Take a bucket of mud, some quite stiff mud, and drive something into it. You going to see a column of mud around the object you drive into it?. "Nature abhors a vacuum".... If you were doing it with water, the same as chucking any big rock into a pond, that column of water is not going to last for long, and your getting a tidal wave of water going out as the rock hits, but, importantly, its all going to come back in again... with a rush... The deeper you are by that time, the more water coming back at you, and I suspect the clap as it collides is going to wake you up a little?.
As for the penetration of the large object into water and how much of a shock the de-acceleration will be. Watch a large boat on a large wave. OPr better still, watch Deadliest Catch, last season, the Sig Hansen's boat, F/V Northwestern, hit a large wave in rough weather with enough force to cause 100,000 dollars worth of "dent" to the sharp end, it pushed the bow back a couple of inches. Everyone on board felt it, and although they all kept even footing with such a large ship, if it has been the size of a small craft?. We are looking at the difference between a big car or a smart car hitting a brick wall. At speed. Watch the 5th gear crash est of a Smart Car ... and now how fast is a rock going that has just escaped a volcano?.. How much of the crash of it hitting the wave as it comes down is buoyancy, and how much of it is resistance of the water to letting something that large crash through it?. If it can dent the Northwestern that bad, its going to be quite a shock?. There is a reason why RIB's and rescue craft have sealed decks with voids under them to aid buoyancy, and "Elephant trunk" type self-sealing neoprene drains at the back through the transom above deck height to aid drainage, we all know that the water does, at times, hit with such force it comes over the sides/front/transom/ and in some cases over your head as well, which is why we all go out wrapped in enough plastic or neoprene to waterproof a small car... and attach ourselves to anchor points on the deck. You crash through the waves, and the buoyancy brings you back up again. Much of the up-force is buoyancy, much of the stop-force is resistance alone.
Therefore, the bigger and heavier the object is, yes maybe the deeper it will go, but it still has to stop, and as Jamie found out, its how many layers of bubble-wrap for a fall of a ONE story building?.. Thats not even terminal velocity for a human, let alone a human sat on a rock that has just flew a whole empire-states-building high [or somewhere there abouts] to escape a volcano and is now coming in for splashdown in the waters below. And how deep the waters?. Say you have around 50ft of water, how much will the rock de-accelerate before it hits the bottom... It IS going to hit the bottom, zero buoyancy, it ma slow down, but hit the bottom it will, and thats going to be a "Thud", but from the initial "Bloody hell thats fast" to impact speed in 50 feet, how much speed do you think its going to loose?.. or does anyone know?..
As for the idea of "just stepping off as it hits" Yeah, right, and you think all that water rushing past the edge of the rock is going to welcome you with gentle arms?. There is a reason why Skydivers planes slow down before they open the door and chuck them out over the target, the rush of air tends to rip things off. If you then "Candle out" on the way down and offer no resistance to the air, when you do "flare" to slow down, which you MUST do before you pull the cord, its a strong resistance, if you dont, and pull the cord, your going to feel several twangs as the para cord that holds you to the canopy lets go?.
In saying all of this, yeah, lets go strap buster to a big rock and chuck him in the pond.. But slap a few "shock watch" stickers on him to see what happens. Add enough buoyancy that he replicates a human form, this will allow him to float off the rock the same as a human would, and see either how deep he goes, of how much he gets ripped off?..
[RWN struggling here with the word buoyancy, you know I am dyslexic, well, to what little sense I have of how words is spult, that one seems "all wrong" on so many levels?.. is it just me?..]

I say pack waterproofed accelerometers and such to him as well, because this is unknown territory, and the more data we can collect, the better picture we can get of what difference the rock makes.

Gasaraki, episode 1 -
The episode opens with the military sending a group of combat robots and their operators to deal with a group of terrorists who have somehow obtained possession of a large quantity of "industrial waste" that they've turned into a dirty bomb. In the English dub, which you can see in the video up there, the commander giving the mission briefing explains that the material is so toxic that if the container leaks or the bomb goes off, it'll cause instant lung cancer in anyone who breathes it.
It's well established that toxic aerosols can damage the lungs and increasing the risk of cancer over time, but "breath this in and you immediately get cancer"? I know it's not testable, but it's still a head-scratcher.
(on second thought, I'll just pull the episode and mention that it can be seen for free on Nozomi Entertainment's YouTube page.)

How instant is instant...
The effects certain substances can have on your lungs can be pretty serious, and have an almost immediate lasting harmful effect, that will kill you. Spray Lubricant, especially the one developed for rocket lubricant, if that is sprayed in someone's face, it can damage the lungs irreparably, right there and then, and stop the lungs being able to absorb oxygen. If fact Most aerosol lubricants, even cooking ones, if breathed in, will cause serious lung damage.
Now define Cancer... This is a pretty difficult definition. Is boiled down to how do you define the change in a cells make-up from "Usual" to "Damaged beyond repair", and which part of that can be described with the term "Cancer", but if its an inability to absorb oxygen and a toxicity that makes that cell now toxic in its self to others, in that the oils absorbed by that cell are now in danger of causing further cell collapse, than you have something that "Fits" quite adequately the description of Cancer....
Not testable?.. go ask any A&E department for a description of patents that didnt check what way the nozzle was facing and got a face full of aerosol oil, unfortunately, there are plenty of people every year that have tested this one before. How much damage depends on how heavily they breathed in, what type of substance it was, and how quickly they get treated.
In my own case, yeah, my OWN case, I can be dat stupid, three weeks on extreme bed rest and oxygen for 48hrs of that, LOTS of steroids, and a case of Bronchitis, which I hear is "For life". I was 26 and just lubricating the chain on my bike, with WD40, the can slipped, I went to grab it, but hit the button, and got a face full.

Here I would disagree Cancer is a specific term meaning that cells have become abnormal and are undergoing cell division in an uncontrolled way.
It's different that saying that an spray or chemical leak could instantly cause damage to lung tissue that would mean that they no longer function that I can get on board with, but to instantly cause a cellular mutation within lung tissue and then have those cell undergo rapid mitosis instantly no.
Here I am presuming not having watched the episode that by 'instant lung cancer' they mean that anyone exposed will suddenly die rather than have a small cell mutation in one cell that over years will cause death.
After all asbestos can cause meisothelioma in patients with just a few crystals getting into the lungs.
If the anime means that the terrorist have acquired a dirty bomb of asbestos waste and its dispersal could cause an increase risk of lung cancer in those exposed then sure, but that's not the same as 'instant long cancer'.

I agree: instant critical lung damage: absolutely. one of our training videos involves a police officer who unthinkingly runs into a cloud of Anhydrous Ammonia. he lasted about three seconds before going down. lung cancer, instantly: at the most, it would cause immediate genetic damage, and the cancer would develop at the usual rate from there. that is the definition of cancer.
