and not knowing that the pointy bit what was done before all the pull top cans
And not knowing what coax cable is.
Me to.
Me also
Yeah - and the generic answer for the pointy end opening a "juice can". Usually adult "barley juice", I would have said...
Chuckled at the bottle opener and coax cable. Are we really that old now? 😄
The coax cable person is just naive. It's still being used today by broadband companies.
Plus it can be used as a subwoofer cable.

I can't believe someone has never seen a can/bottle opener. I carried one in high school, 1971
I still have one, use it to punch open small cans of tomato sauce that are a pain in my electric can opener.
Wow, someone has a rare ATOYOT vehicle. They are very sought after.😂

Yes, the bottle cap opener was surprising, but not in a good way.

I was thinking petrified horse poop.
Looks like it's crystalline in structure - which would eliminate poo as a possibility.

How do you determine when the game stops? Do you go until one player runs out of chips/money?
but this spinner looks like it only has 4 sides?
When I was young those can/bottle openers were commonly called "churchkeys," probably because they were used to pierce the tops of beer cans.
@@da6885 No, because if you look at the angled part sideways it looks like a peaked roof.

The bottle opener in olden days was used to open any cans.
