How to open a can without a can opener
I’m an intern at Red Cross Disaster Services. I was tasked to giving a presentation on “Disaster Prep” to a company.
“Ok! No problem! Can I center the whole talk around the zombie apocalypse?” I just get eye-rolls from the non-believers/skeptics. My supervisor says that she will email me the powerpoint that I should update/use.
In the power point, to my surprise, is a link to the following:
“Don’t use this link- as the language and quality is bad. But it’s useful information!”

I already knew this, as I actually had to use this trick multiple times in the Philippines. I first started searching for this when I watched “The Pianist” (I think that was the movie) where a guy is in hiding and can’t open a can of peaches.
What I’m trying to say is: This trick saves lives.
When I first heard that the tin can was invented before the can opener, I wondered how they marketed the first without the next? Necessity is the mother of invention! But inventiveness is the source for every solution!
thanks for this tip. Love it
