Can Opener

While trying to put these blogs together I sometimes reread some of my posts. I was reminded, while reading looking at the picture I took of the Roast Beef in its can, that I sure had a hard time opening that thing. I have two can openers. The first one I got after getting married, I think, and it just the metal one, no plastic or fancy stuff to it. Plain and simple, not to mention cheap. The second one has nice plastic handles and opens cans a little bit better then the other, I think. It at least takes less effort than the other. However, neither can opener could open the FDRB can. I switched between the two, banging at times, and using quite a lot of force.

Bottom line is that I need to quit being so cheap. If I want to store these bigs cans of food I will have to invest in a much better opening equipment. If I stick to the small cans I am spared the trouble. Cans now come with their own pull-top. Something that used to be reserved for little individual sized cans of fruit. No one can be stuck underground in their shelter, while bombs go off, with tons of food with no can opener anymore. It just isn't so. No more going hiking and forgetting, the can remembers for you. Thank you Cambell's for provided a superior product and helping us on our way to eliminating the ever-helpful can opener.

By the way, not all can openers are the same. Not all open cans the same. Some fail quite well at the job they were designed and born to do.
