@denisbloodnok@mendeddrum.org Ah, thanks for the WP link! There's this picture at the end, titled "Opening a beer can with a "church key", 1963" and now it seems to me like before the "Ring Pull" cans, no tool-less opening mechanism did exist. People needed to bring their own tooling even for opening beer or soda cans. I wasn't aware of that… my beverage career started with Ring Pull and single-purpose, can-opener-less bottle openers :) #RingPull #ChurchKey #TIL @dryak@mstdn.science @cstross@wandering.shop @aral@mastodon.ar.al @s10n@mastodon.social @matt@oslo.town
