Anyone remember these?

Buy off brand, dollar store, sardine-like, small salty fish units.

Try not to think about why they ended up at Odd Lots . . . failed mainland Chinese health standards, perhaps? 😱

I try to get my fishies from Canuckistan. Though it's a third world country, I trust them much more than China :^P

We used to make chains with them and put them on hats and things...😛 My sister used to make long chains for doorways like to old type made from beads (oh and yes we drank a lot)...:biggrin:

I even remember the old beer and soda cans were steel and could be found rusting in the ditch... (damn I'm old D🙂

Guys in the firms would build room dividers with them. Another way of bragging his much beer was being consumed.

 

[sdifox]

you can still buy non twist-off bottles, mostly premium brands. it's a pain trying to twist-off non-twist-off caps.

you are not suppsed to do that. Open with a fork and your thumb :biggrin:

"Church key" drinks 🙂 They actually still have a brand called Churchkey Beer that comes with a church key.

I will leave it to our posters to find what it means. 🙂

I have a born-on 1971 date stamped on my ass.

In college, my weight room in my apartment had a Guinness Stout Extra border around it from cut out logos from each box I consumed.

Some of my favorite meat is mystery meat. I love Spam, but it comes with a pull top now. I had a canned ham from Canada a couple months ago, and it had a key. Not the best ham, but the key made up for the deficiencies :^D

there is still a lot of canned meats here that use a key.

My favourite one is Hereford Corned Beef from Brazil as it makes a good hash.

GET OFF MY LAWN!! :awe:

I used to have them strung back and forth across the ceiling in my room.

I remember the "puncture" type juice can opener.

And the cardboard motor oil cans with the spout that you jammed through the metal end of the can.

Why would they make the strawholder removable?

Someone old needs to explain to me how canned meats were so popular at one point?

really?

you have no idea why they have been canning meats for so long?

canned meats are still very popular. Spam, corned beef, various spam knock offs, salmon, tuna, chicken, ham, turkey, etc... are bought every day.

pantry storage which means no refrigeration needed.

Maybe I should rephrase.

How is this appetizing to anyone

Refrigeration isn't exactly a new thing.

I miss tin keys. You don't see them much anymore.

Yeah....these were designed years ago by a rare convergence of the Band-Aid and Curad engineering teams.

Goodness, there are some old farts in here 😀

I like tools that add an element of danger to their use. It helps focus attention, and makes people use them better. If people were strapped to the fronts of their cars so they were the first thing hit in an accident, you'd see a lot less bullshit on the roads.

still plenty of pull tab cans being made, just not so much in NA.

Anyone who doesn't appreciate the occasional can of Spam is a Commie!

Try to pick up your balls prior to sitting down, I heard it helps.

I take it 1999 was the year of your birth and you didn't get the chance to read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, Jr yet.

Aren't you supposed to fuck someone's cow? With your attitude, no wonder your marriages (plural) did not last.
