Got a beer(fosters) from fridge and found a small plastic ball in the bottom of the can, slightly smaller than a golf ball.

Scandalous!

I may phone and complain etc but tbh it's probably more hassle than it's worth.

It's no point phoning, if you're going to make a complaint do it in writing, that's real writing with a pen and paper, not an email.

Your complaint letter should be something like this.

Dear Fosters complaint dept

I Have recently been traumatized after attempting to consume the contents of tin of Fosters. I feel unable to consume any beer ever again from a tin and now have to go to the pub instead. As I consume 20 beers a week and the pub cost is £1.80 extra I request and require that you recompense me with this difference in cost for the next ten years, along with the £8,462 that the psychiatrist has quoted to alleviate my mental trauma. This comes to a total of £27,182.

Had you not negligently placed a black plastic ball in the bottom of the tin then I would not be suffering with the trauma.

Please send recompense within seven days or I will commence legal proceedings.

Yours,

.....

HTH

At least get it in bottles. All canned beer (except Guinness) tastes like metal to me.
