that the can opener was invented almost ten years after the first tin can? People used a hammer and chisel to open them before the can opener.

I do now...
Tin cans were invented in 1810 but were so thick it took hammers and chisels to open them, it wasn't actually until 50 yrs later when metal was made thinner that it became possible to invent dedicated can openers, the first patented can opener was in 1858.

Don't know how this is possible. Why would someone invent a can, with no way of opening them?
