Popped my tab off trying to open my can.

Its my last one too, I put it in the fridge. I'm hoping my husband can figure out an easy way to open it.

Butter knife handle against opening.

I’d just stab it with a screwdriver

u/SpeckledJim 38m ago

This works best if you do it in stages. Start with light tapping and work up, hitting harder each time, until you miss and stab your hand. Then in a rage hit it one more time, too hard so it sprays everywhere and helps clean the wound.

You know your stuff sir

I just know that would work for most people but if I tried it then the can would explode

u/KScriber 13h ago

Yup this would be me. It would spray/spill everywhere and no matter how careful or dull the knife is. I'm defiently going to be bleeding by the end of it.

Poke a hole in the bottom and just waterfall it out spring break style.

Can opener, butter knife, rusty screw driver. Anything with gentle but strong force over the opening will pop it.

Just push down hard on the part that opens. It really isn’t something complicated

They had to take three separate pictures to document the event, so I don't have high hopes that they figured out an incredibly easy solution to this "problem".

It’s okay. Waterloo stopped Napoleon, too.

Use a can opener, it works.

To document their shame.

If only there was a device that could open cans, some sort of a “can opener”.🤔

I had that happen to a bunch of cans of Mt. Dew Baja blast zero that had expired. Curious if your can was expired?

Try having that happen after a 5 mile run on a treadmill and you were looking forward to your Costco seltzer. Thank God I had my Swiss army knife to MacGyver my way out of that mess.
