Answer 5

I can barely remember that. What is more clear in my memory are the first cans with the ring that you would pull on and you'd end up with a little sliver of (nearly) razor sharp steel that people would toss on the ground and little kids would cut their feet on.

I wonder why the can designers couldn't see that coming?
