Empty soda cans are a throwable item found in almost all lootable locations on the map. Selecting the empty soda can and firing, much like with Empty Tin Can and Empty Whiskey Bottle, will cause your character to throw the can grenade-style a certain distance depending on the amount of time you held the fire key down. When hitting a surface near zombies, the can will attract their attention, and they will (typically) begin to investigate the noise. This item is usually used as a means of escaping areas while surrounded by zombies, but has also been used for breaking hospital windows and for distracting other Survivors. Empty cans can be used to drink from ponds - simply walk up with a can in your inventory and select "Drink".
