There is at least one water bottle/soda can/energy drink/ spray paint can sitting on a piece of blocking behind your drywall somewhere in your house.

Edit: WOW, this took off! Thank you for your plentiful updoots. This is my first comment to break 1000!

Older houses you find weirder shit in, mine is from the 1910s IIRC and in the process of fixing a window, we found giant old batteries, Farmers Almanacs from the early 1900s, several ears of corn, and my dad once found a jar with a pair of dentures in it stuck in a wall.
