I have a tin cup from the Gilroy Garlic Festival. It has some rust marks on the inside.
It also smells a little funny. Not entirely like rust. But there is some non-food odor.
What's the best that I can do to get rid of the rust marks, and remove the odor as much as possible?
I've tried scrubbing it with a brush, and it's helped remove a little of the rust marks. I've also tried Bar Keeper's Friend. That didn't seem to do much.
I see a used 2012 cup on eBay that looks to be in good condition. But it's $15. And I also want to know how I can prevent something from getting rust, in case I get another one. That one on eBay also has a Budweiser logo on it, whereas mine as a Coors logo on it. Not that I care much for either brewery, but I just want the same brewery on the cup if possible, so that if I get another one, it will feel like I have the same one as my current one. I don't want to look at it and visibly know it's different.
Also, I can probably wait until the next time I go to the Gilroy Garlic Festival, whenever that may be, and purchase a tin mug then.
I also see they have some coffee mugs and wine glasses. But I don't drink much coffee / tea, and usually not at home. And the logos on the wine glasses aren't anything interesting.
Plus, I drink more beer than coffee/tea/wine, so there's a greater chance of me using a beer mug.
