Abstract

Disclosed herein is a beverage can that is provided at a top surface of a body thereof with an opening portion. This beverage can includes a bracket and a straw. The bracket is positioned under the top surface of the body, and has a bottom wall of a diameter equal to the inner diameter of the body. In this case, a port is formed on the bottom wall of the bracket. Meanwhile, the straw is interposed between the top surface of the body and the bottom wall of the bracket in such a way as to be elastically projected from the inside to the outside of the can by itself when the opening portion is opened. The straw comprises a cover and a holding part. In this case, the cover is seated on the top of the straw to be selectively opened. The holding part is provided on the lower portion of the straw. A circular groove is formed around the external surface of the side wall of the holding part to elastically engage with the edge of the port of the bracket.
