During the takeoff roll; a loose can of unopened Coca-Cola Zero rolled from behind the Captain's rudder pedals and stopped between the Captain's left foot and the left rudder pedal.  Since I was the Pilot Monitoring; I was able to remove the object and the takeoff was continued.  Had I been the Pilot Flying; this event would have resulted in a rejected takeoff. This object was not from our crew and was lost/loose at some time prior to us beginning our pre-flight duties for this flight. This event would have been a much greater threat to safe operations had anything else irregular happened during the takeoff roll.
A320 Captain reported that during the takeoff roll an unopened beverage can rolled from behind the rudder pedals and between his left foot and the rudder pedal. The Captain; who was the pilot monitoring; removed the can and the takeoff continued safely.
