Inspired by catch @catch56@kolektiva.social, I asked Google "how many days of the week have cans of petroleum in them?, and unlike them it actually gave me a hit about why the answers are so silly:
All 7 days of the week have cans containing petroleum in them. This is a classic riddle about the days of the week and a well-known linguistic quirk: every single day from Monday to Sunday ends with the letter combination "can".
Additionally, petroleum is hidden in a vast array of everyday commercial and food products!
Looks like we've hit another "fox and grain and boat" kind of edge case.
