    Pry it up slightly and get an actual finger under it before pulling. Put your thumb in the centre of the lid for leverage.

    What are your fingers made of, mashed potato?

    I don’t have a problem with ring pulls on cans. I have problems with those shitty plastic ones found on Asian sauce bottles.

    I must have weird anatomy or something because I have never found these even slightly difficult to open. Surely the real problem is wet/oily hands trying to grip smooth metal twist caps welded onto smooth glass jars.

    I keep my fingernails short, so if I can’t lift the tab within a few seconds, it’s spoon time, baby!

              Heard of it but never looked into it. Wikipedia has story about a guy who sees the words, not the images (I think). Do you see words, symbols?

              Me too. I always thought people were being dramatic and colourful. Took decades to realize brains work differently. And apparently some people have problems with ring pulls as well. Human diversity is amazing.

                Diversity for the win, I’d imagine a trophy if i could haha. Where do you land, partial or full?

    It’s got a pull tab, made for human fingers. How do you even use a spoon for this?? Do you jam the spoon in? I feel like I’m cack-handed enough to impale myself with the spoon if it requires jamming honestly 😂

      I bought a couple of the same cans to test this out with later. Saw the same advice in the other thread.

    I use my fingers like a normal person. The only problem I have with these is the occasional time when the tab shears off completely as you flip it up and you’re left contemplating whether to stab something into the groove or dig out the can opener…

    I end up using a can opener, axe and angle grinder

    BECAUSE THE STUPID PULL TAB COMES OFF!

    Usually a can opener, after the tabs on the woolies brand cans fall off. Thanks, duopoly!
