Yikes! I just had a flashback!

I saw something on TV and remembered opening a can with one of those twisty-key deals. How long ago was that...
Too much coffee late in the day, I guess.

That is a flashback. Had forgotten all about those things. I do remember the coffee cans and spam cans though.

I think we're dating ourselves in this day and age of pop top everything.

Church keys and the triangular holes they made in beer cans.

Yep, and Vienna sausages. I used to walk down to the creek when I was a little kid, stopping at our little country store on the way, I would get a small package of crackers and a can of Vienna sausages. Used the break-away key to open them. I guess that was the precursor to my Montana outings. I haven't had any of those little stinkers in 45 years...and don't intend on it ever again.

My Dad would eat a can of sardines every New Years Day for good fortune. I remember rolling the lid back with the key that came with it. I don't carry on the tradition.

My dad ate his specialty a sardine and onion sandwich on a regular basis. Needless to say that one never did catch on with the next generation. I can remember that even being on the menu at a local restaurant!!! Thanks for those memories.

I do remember all those things but I am a old guy.... anndd.. I like Spam always did and sardines. Nothing like sardines between a couple of crackers. Chopped up spam, scrambled eggs, onions,and anything else you can find for a omelette..great camping food.

I too remember the break off keys for spam and coffee and everything else but when I went in the Army in 63 was introduced to a handy gadget to open cans that kept for years. Really handy opening C rations. The ole P38 can opener.
