Compared to McD’s, I’ve had some pretty horrible BK experiences to the point that I won’t buy food there*, but this still makes me grin…
* low bar, since I don’t buy a lot of fast-food-burger-joint food to start with

Having more trouble opening cans manually due to arthritis, so we broke down and bought an electric can opener.
The instructions included:
- Do not use on aerosol cans.
- Do not use on lighter fluid containers.

And one minute after typing this, I go to the other place and read:
I’ve written about the 11foot8 bridge (aka the Can-Opener) quite a few times here on Boing Boing. Located in Durham, North Carolina, it’s a 79-year-old railroad bridge that has a lower clearance than the height of many common commercial trucks. It’s scraped the top off of 139 trucks since 2008, the year that Jürgen Henn installed a video camera to record the crashes.
Now if that ain’t weird I dunno what is!
(actually I assumed it was Google or something do its ad thing)

- Hold stick near centre of its length.
- Moisten pointed end in mouth.
- Insert in tooth space, blunt end next to gum.
- Use gentle in-out motion.

I can’t see why that wouldn’t work. They’re just cans.

I think #1 is to prevent a sudden pressure release into your face, and #2 is to prevent a spark from causing a jet of fire to shoot up into your face.

Wonderful, so you can open oxygen canisters then?

No aerosol cans?
Drat. I was just thinking how fun a shaving cream can would be.

While I’ve never opened a can of Barbasol with a can opener, I may have taken a few cans to the rifle range as a youth.
I remember being satisfied when the pressure was rapidly brought to equalibrium

You know… wrap the can up in green paper first, do something about the white twine, video it against a matching green screen, and you’d have a great, reusable clip that could save you a lot of money on CGI. You could film it simultaneously from different angles too.
