Which way do you use a can opener?

[Windows 91]

Method A (Cutting the sides)

Method B (Cutting the top)

I've always used method B, but was told recently that this is the wrong way. Now I use A. I didn't even know you could use it that way

The magnet on mine only allows it to work one way...

 

[get these nets]

B

Can honestly say that I never thought of the A method.

Method B

Because then you can push the top to squeeze the water out of a can of tuna or whatever.

You can't do that with Method A.

B the only way I know; and it works every damn time

i plug it into the wall and push down

b always works, a won't if they decided to use smth other than thin gauge metal

i'ma take this chance to plug a cool book, it's all about how simple inventions like pencils/zippers were optimized, p sure there's a chapter on can openers

edit: b is safer too, the jagged edges are recessed inside the lip instead of... well, everywhere

I just bite into it with my teeth and pour it out. I ain't no bytch

B-- with the LEFT hand

A seems like you'd get more metal shavings. And unless you're planning to turn the can into a prison shank, I don't get it.

Sucker.
TREE KILLER!!
Electric can openers are easily one of the biggest wastes around... you better be parapalegic

I can promise you my use of an electric can opener has killed not a single tree.

I don't even eat anything that comes out of a can like that.

the fact that you think i would kill a tree from the use of my can opener, just tells me that you're eating a lot of things out of cans, i have no idea what, that's just the first canned food that came to my mind. last thing i recall opening a can for was some broth.


hope you're living well my friend.
