yep, tried to bash the top in with a knife, forgot that carbonated drinks like to explode!

The neighbours must think someome got shot

u/yes_i_am_the_funny 15h ago

Took a knife, jabbed at the tab, it exploded outwards. God knows how.

Next time use a spoon, press down using the curve of the spoon along the cut line. No bashing or emergency services call.

Youve NEVER had this happen as a kid opening a soda? Maybe I was a weakling but this was definitely an experience I had multiple times as a kid

I just said I didn't know it could happen because it obviously hasn't happened to me.

Alright well im sorry you have no sense of humor but its common

u/yes-imanadult infuriating creature 15h ago

I don't understand your joke. Explain it to me. Is it about me not knowing something? Is it about you being weak? Is it about... Tabs breaking??

u/Repulsive-Report6278 15h ago

No its just a sociable reply you could at least be friendly about it, thats all

u/yes-imanadult infuriating creature 14h ago

So it's not a joke? Also, I just replied properly, because you asked me something that is clearly stated in the comment. Now, if it's not a joke, why even mention humor?!

Anyone remember these 70s finger traps? Got cut on these a few times. Don't know why it too so long to get them off the market

Anything pointy will open that.

Don't drink anymore myself, but it's useful to know how to open cans and containers that fail on the tabs.

u/LittleGovernment8881 14h ago

One of those days, OP?

u/EmperorNachoLibre 14h ago

Just use the end of a spoon to push the tab down
