Google hits don't make something RIGHT. I offer you "dirty sanchez" as proof.
You know what, ita? I had managed to completely purge that from my mind, and I mean completely. Even now, I only can remember it's something sexual I never want to know about, ever again. But all the same? Darn you, darn you to heck, for reminding me there are things I don't want to know about. When this dawns on me at two o'clock in the morning...well, I don't know what I'll do, but it will involve snarling, and shaking my fist, westward.
And if it's not the can, just the soda, how do you make it stay in the chicken cavity??
Shove an apple/onion/spherical edible thing in the opening. Roast it breast down. Sew the skin flap up with floss (ok, that's a little far....)
Really though, you just want it roasting and glazing in whatever fluid. It doesn't have to be a chicken filled with coke.
Okay, you know what is REALLY wrong about that recipe! Cooking a chicken while it is sitting up!
You might as well tie booties on it and give it a hat. It practically has a personality now! How can you eat it?

With a side of mashed potatoes and mixed veggies?

I name every turkey carcass I cook. Frequently, Fred. And I make it dance.
And I enjoy turkey sandwiches, soups and whatnot for months.
The actual can -- the chicken sits on top of it and the beer/soda/whatever flavors and bastes for you.
So it's like a beer can tampon for the chicken? Now, how does the beer flavor the chicken? Does it boil enough to come up out of the can? The reciped says the can should be about half full. Have you tried this?

Oh come now. Next you'll be saying I shouldn't use fish heads in my stew just because the eyes kind of look at you when you sauté them.
Vertical rotisseries are cool! And they're not just sitting up, they're pirouetting.
If you can't handle them having been alive, I recommend reconsidering having them killed so you can eat them.
Fish heads, fish heads, roly poly fish heads / fish heads, fish heads, eat them up, yum!
