Actually, you probably surprise me the most. Let me help you with your dilemma: If you can replace "it's" with "it is" or "it has", then keep the apostrophe. Otherwise, lose the apostrophe.

I'm afraid that I'm a lost cause when it comes to "it's" vs "its". I've been trying my whole life to get that right, and I just don't seem to be capable of it.

Maybe I'm just an idiot.

By the way, it should be "its contents", not "it's contents" (the
possessive form of a personal pronoun does not use an apostrophe).
I'm surprised at the number of people that don't know that, especially
on this list.
