I remember as kid growing up the big cans of Hi-C that used to be shelf stable. And those always needed to be opened with the church key. And they would sit open in the fridge for weeks on end until we finished it. Thankfully the galvanized metal could take it.

Many canned goods, like tomato sauce, were opened with that left part.
