Growing up in the 1970s and 1980s, my family always had an electric can opener and it seemed that everyone else did as well. Today, however, it seems as if electric can openers are quite rare. My wife and I don't have one. Neither my parents nor any of the friends whose homes I've visited lately contain one. The nearby Target, which carries 20 models of every other small electric, had only two electric can openers last I checked. Obviously, it seems like a larger percentage of food comes in plastic packages or pull top cans. But, while I'd assume that there have been some advances in plastic packaging, pull tops existed in the 1970s too. Any ideas?
