Did you ever have a pull tab break when you were trying to open a can? This happened to me when I was in high school. The can in question was a beer I had put in the freezer at a friend’s lake house, and forgotten. The ring broke, but only after tearing a tiny hole in the top of the can, from which a stream of beer shot all the way to the ceiling. Not wanting to damage my friend’s ceiling (especially since it was actually his older brother’s place and technically we didn’t have permission to be there) I did the only thing I could think to do: aim the Budweiser geyser into my mouth, and swallow as quickly as I could. It didn’t work.
