EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

The old soda cans had to be "popped" open with a can opener. They had a point on them for piercing the top of the hard tin can that was used for soda before aluminium cans. I remember when I was growing up when the cans switched over and the pull tops were used.

Lids on the bottles were popped off using the other end of the can opener. They actually made a pop sound too.

Does any one else remember that?

:old
They use to solder them with lead when they were tin. When the pull rings came, they littered the parking lots along with the bottle tops. Some used to call the pull rings (Polish Wedding Rings)REAL GLASS wiith metal bottle tops were more popular for soda/colas though. Beer was mostly in the soldered cans.
We as kids would search along road sides and just about anywhere looking for the bottle empties to cash them in for $$$$. Most vending machines had the pull out bottles where you open the rectangle glass door and remove your bottle after you deposit your change.
I have a treat for you Ron...

fully functional.. ice cold and coin operation still works. It holds now-a-days, water bottles, long neck beer bottles and classic styles soda/cola from the supermarket.
Currently the wracks have been removed and it is packed to the hilt with eggs since our sales dropped and the refer is too full too hold anymore.
Back in the day when hub was building engines and cars, his buddies would always hang out and suck down all of his brews. He set the machine meter to 50 cents to keep the beer moochers from not pitching in.
A little dusty but in excellent shape.

Remember when all the little jiffy store parking spaces had bottle tops pressed into the asphalt by cars running them over? The simple days... I miss those days but not the lead.. @ronott1
