This came from my soda can

I was drinking Orange Fanta and I felt something hit my tongue. I quickly grabbed a cup and spit it in there this is what came out?

Whatever this is, it’s a blessing in disguise because now I want nothing to do with canned sodas…

Yeah, pop that bad-boy into some warm water and let it dissolve: Free Fanta

You can literally see it dissolve in the 4th picture as it loses shape and turns the water it's in yellow, the people going around claiming it's clearly a cockroach and you can see the legs and wings are delusional.

That's not true lol. The water is fanta. And why wouldn't the arm dissolve first since it's so thin? Because it's not true

You can see the clump is laying in a translucent, colorless, non-fanta liquid in picture 3, and that the "arm" has in fact thinned quite significantly and lost most of its 'bug-leg-like' definition in the transition to picture 4, in which it looks a fair bit wispier.

In picture 3, that's fanta. You're blind and ignorant and unable to accept you're wrong

Yeah, my first thought was it was just crystalized/congealed syrup/sugar. I'm assuming a lot of people have never seen a cockroach before because they're like 2 inches long and the thing in the picture looks to be a few millimeters long.
