I just opened my beer with this and have no idea why we have this in our drawer.

Any olds on here ancient enough to remember the old pull tabs that you used to break in two and then use the tab to shoot the ring across the room?
Yep. The cans were made of steel and the bottles were returnable 16 oz. glass 8-packs. The soft drink aisle was always sticky from someone catching a carton on a bottle cap and pulling a second entire carton onto the floor.snowaggie said:

This is a pretty good spelling of that noise Will Smith makes at the beginning of Wild Wild West.
As a kid I was not good at opening cans with the stupid pull ring. Breaking off the pull ring with a small hole the soda would dribble out of, yeah I could do that all day long.MouthBQ98 said:
I recall those. I also recall stepping on those little *******s as a kid like Jimmy Buffett sings about.
Or the damn ring pulled off the tab and you had to find a can opener.
also don't put a redstripe in your freezer ice bucket (to get colder even faster) then forget about it and make a glass of ice water... the "crushed ice" feature on the dispenser works just as well with glassGota De Limon said:
I still do it with Topo Chico bottles at least once per year.
It's one thing to clean a mess up when a frozen can or plastic bottle bursts, it's quite another when you gotta search the freezer for glass shards while cleaning up the mess.

Important safety tip: If you put a glass Coke bottle into the freezer in an attempt to chill it, don't forget about it. I earned the privilege of cleaning the freezer several times as a kid because of that.
Oh look at me. The wine I drink comes from a bottle instead of a cardboard box.TexasRebel said:
Put a bottle of merlot in a freezer too long and you get a glass filled snow cone covered in fermented grape syrup.
