Don't everyone holler at once now. I will take my best shot at being subtle.
I seem to recall that Sn is tin, and that would be the stuff they used to
coat the insides of "tin cans" with to assure that there would be
absolutely no chemical change whatsoever to the contents coming into
contact with it. The ad might be more convincing if it said Pb rather than
Sn, but it still wouldn't do nuttin.
