    I know it's not "SPAM", but would you really be here if I said "TULIP"?
    Opening a vintage type can of Spam, something my young son has never seen before. It's along the lines of rotary phones...

    OMG I am so stupid. Broke the "key" thing off thinking poor design. Used a can opener to butcher the can instead. Little bits of metal fell off onto the spam. Thanks for the help, haha.

    Wow!!! Thanks a million! You made my day. I just came up after failing to open it with a can opener. I had tried to open it two weeks ago but thought I had broken the top piece meant to open it like other cans have on it....was beginning to panic. I had NO IDEA that this is what you were going to do. I have been grinning since then, as ridiculous as it may sound. Thank you soooooo much!

    I much prefer the old key system to the pull top SPAM uses now. It made it much easier to get out of the can!

      @DeanMk1 Před 8 měsíci +1

      Next time you open a can of Spam, flip it over once you get the lid off and grab it by the narrow ends and squeeze those in, as you shake the can with a hard downward thrust.
      Once or twice and the meat should pop right out.
      That's how I do it and I used to have issues with the new style opener, too.

    See? That's what I thought!
    Watching "Back in time for Christmas" on the CBC right now and in the 1950's segment, Mrs. Robshaw is opening a can of Spam with a can opener.
    I was like, "what?"
    ...maybe she didn't know about that, or did they not have the key style opener in England in the 1950's?

So I See This Can I’m Like Wtf So I Googled How To Open Can With Key . ( I Know I Know Google Right Lol I’m 23yrs Old) So Then I Found This Video And Gained Confidence To Do It & Failed Miserably. I Spun It Around & The Key Broke A Piece Of The Can . So I Struggled With A Can Opener . For 20+ Minutes Just For My Father To Come & Open The Can With The Can Opener Making Me Feel Useless. Moral Of My Story Get My Dad To Open It.
