Covered Soda Cans. Why Put Dirty Cans In Your Mouth?

Bottle have caps. Cans have... nothing?
If you've ever had the pleasure of drinking a can of San Pellegrino Aranciata or Limonata, you just saw today's Idea of the Day in action. Every can of San Pellegrino comes with a removable foil cover to insure the top of the can remains clean.
Unlike bottled drinks that are covered until you open them, soda cans are always exposed. It's hard to believe there isn't any regulation that mandates that soda cans remain covered until purchased.
Why is it that San Pellegrino is the only major beverage company that realizes that many of their customers will be drinking directly from the can?
When you buy a can of soda from a deli, the can that you are about to put in your mouth has potentially travelled hundreds of miles in a dirty truck, and has been exposed to countless people, including truck loaders and unloaders, retailer staff, dirty retail shelves, and other customers. There is no guarantee any of those people had clean trucks, clean hands, or clean shelves, yet the cans remain uncovered.
Considering how many products come in sanitized shrink wrap, it's only a matter of time before covered cans become the new standard. Until then, be sure to at least wipe them down before you put them in your mouth.
