An interesting beer can

So today, I went to grab myself a delicious Budweiser out of the refrigerator, and to my surprise, the can was empty.

Now, I know that you're probably like "that's not a big deal...just an empty can." Well, what made this interesting is that the can was still sealed. Perfectly! No holes anywhere in the can, at least that I can see. I doubt it was leaking in the box because, there isn't a stain inside or anything.

Has anything like this happened to any of y'all? Because how I'm viewing it is that I have a still sealed beer can, that is completely empty...did I just win a million dollars?

TL;DR
found sealed beer can, completely empty. Am I a millionaire?

Is what made Budweiser delicious the fact that the can was empty?

I think I've heard of this before, but I believe it was when the beer was extremely old and subjected to varying extremes of cold/hot. I'm guessing that wasn't the case with yours?

nope, it went straight from the cooler at the gas station to my fridge...What was done before that...Only the can will ever know. But if the case went through a huge temperature difference...why was only one beer the victim?

Free beer is free beer man. Myself, I'm a blue moon kind of guy. But I spend all my money on my car, so I dont complain when people come over, and leave beer.

I've had this happen to me before. I chalked it up as a factory mess up. IE the can not being filled and passing inspection some how. I kept it as a trophy for awhile
