A can without a can opener is frustrating!
We've all been through this kind of situation...
Especially if you have nothing left to eat in the cupboards and only a can of food remains.
Fortunately, there is a trick to opening this can without a can opener.
The trick is to rub the tin can on a concrete surface. Watch:
1. Turn the can upside down.
2. Place it on a concrete surface like a sidewalk.
3. Rub the can for 2 min until the edge is worn.
4. Press the edges to open the lid.
There you go, you opened a can without a can opener :-)
Very handy if you're going on a picnic and you forgot to take a can opener.
If you have a knife handy, you can lift the lid with it instead of pressing down on the edges.
If there is no sidewalk around you, it also works by rubbing the can on a large flat stone.
