But it opens cans fantastically well too Joe...Since this is winding down I thought I would mention that although this has been a lot of fun, and a good brain exercise, ......I really would never make use of the (final name inserted here).
At age 58 beer goes straight to my gut, and I already ride a bicycle regularly and watch what I eat to keep the weight off as well. (I lost 30 pounds over 2 years riding a bicycle several times a week, and now weigh 178 pounds at 5' 10" tall)
When I DO occasionally have "a beer", it's usually from a can and my thumb nail is plenty stout to lift the tab. (I play guitar and ukulele so I grow my right hand nails out).
Cans are lighter to carry home full, and also lighter to carry back (in bulk) to reclaim the deposit. (and of course can't break like glass can) I carry groceries on a bike also, so I try to stay away from glass whenever I can.
For that reason, if any of my names were to be chosen, I would like my "gift" to be given to one of the finalists of this naming project, whose name could be drawn from a hat or any other way you see fit.![]()
