It has to be at least 5 years ago or more now that I saw the wedge in 
the can.  And after carefully studying it we figured they had a gas 
charge that would cause it to rotate, which would simulate the 
non-laminar flow out of a tap in turn creating the head.  But we never 
had the time to test the theory.  Now if you poor you self a glass, and 
let it sit for a few seconds before consuming it,  watch the bubbles 
very carefully and you will see some of then going down instead of up.  
Now somewhere I do have a proof of why the bubbles go down.
