[Less]

I can cope with most of it, I can read therefore if I read something several times I can sometimes work out how things will work the way I want them to.

What I so far haven't come to understand is the ring pull.

No, not the ring pull on a can of beer, my survival meant I needed to get my head around that very quickly, a quick pull a bit of a gasp as the pressure is released and drink, no problem...


The awkward part is cans of soup, sardines, vegetables and other such goods now no longer needing a can opener.

So we pull on the ring, the can opens yet again with a satisfying HIIISSSSS, unfortunately, trying to remove the lid leaves you covered with part of the contents, why does the last quarter of an inch hang on until you use frustration to tug, then cover yourself with the contents of the tin?

I've had the same can opener for several decades, it worked, it never covered me with my food.
no matter how careful we are, ring pull food always spills, are they sponsored by detergent companies to do this?
