Dude is your can lid made of butter?
Thinking the same thing lol
Omg no way
Maple Graves I think
RIGHT 😂😂😂
Cheap can. for sure
i have a spoon and a can, now all i need is an emergency case.
@Guero Rodriguez
Use the spoon on her just like the can. Can't loose the meat
@Guero Rodriguez indeed
You might have your emergency now
Robert Large 🤦🏻♂️
😂😂😂😂
all i wanted was a can of kidney beans - is that so much to ask for?
DAMON
Your first problem is eating kidney beans
@@kaddictt3621 play the cartoon music while you're driving to the grocery store to buy a can opener
DAMON.
Idk why it brings me so much joy to see you in the comments.
Stew for me. I have a cold and i think ill have to starve
Make sure you sharpen your spoon after so it doesn't get dull
LMAO!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I actually lol'd thanks
And you got to make sure not to use it when you're eating cereal cuz you'll cut your lips and your mouth and your tongue
@@luzcaicedo3580 lol
😂😂
If you have lost your spoon, then in an emergency you can open it with a can opener.
Lolololololol 😂😂😂
I want to see a video that shows me how to eat corn with a can opener.
Wat if I forgot the can... Can I open the spoon with the can opener? 🤔
the fact that product is real always makes me laugh
💀💀💀💀💀
What in the hell is your can made of?
zioxei aluminium, like most cans..
zioxei Here can are to solid to doing that.
Seb Gontrand samee
Tom Petley Most cans besides beverage cans are made of tin.
Aluminum or aluminum/steel.
Thank you for teaching me what school wouldn't.
Unbelievably, this hack does actually work. I was camping with four friends and we had some tinned food for dinner, but no tin opener. They were proper tins, not like the one in this video, but I told them anyway that I would open the tins with a spoon, and incredibly, managed to do so. Cue four very impressed and grateful friends, who would have otherwise not had anything to eat. It does take quite a bit of effort, but hunger is a wonderful motivator! :))
Either that can is flimsy or the man in this video has very strong hands.
Rev. James C it can be done. Its more of a technique than of a muscle.. i did it so many times..
mark6020cc good you can pass the audition in survivor
No thanks...
Rev. James very strong hands just ask his wife
Strong hands I think look at how white his hands turn
That's a thin-ass lid!
It took me 10 minutes but I finally did it thank you. Buying a can opener tomorrow lol
I cant do it 😢😢😢
@@locajunkie5143same😭
Finding your saftey gloves...12 minutes. Struggling round the tin with spoon... 14 minutes.
Drive to shop for new tin opener... 5 minutes.
I feel like they are referring to as if you have NO other options...
@The Skunk still quicker to drive to shop ffs
But it’s 3 AM and I’m 10 my can opener is broken
But it's lockdown. dw you couldn't have guessed a year ago.
Thanks
this will be useful when I'm homeless
You mean canopenerless.....
AC DFRO y7
YB90Gaming mate best comment I hav ever seen, u made me laugh for ages ^_^
YB90Gaming you suck a lot homeless person
so i cut myself 3 times broke my spoon and possibly my hand BUT the can is open!👍
omg
I thought i was the only one who hurted my hand and broke the spoon
Part II: "My Visit To The ER For Fifteen Stitches"
This totally saved my lunch at work today! Lol Not NEARLY as easy as the video makes it look, but I WAS able to finally get enough of the lid off using the spoon to eat my ravioli. Thanks!
Uh since when did raviolis go in cans?
@@SamTheMan12 Since Chef Boyardee lol
i hope your work is still going well
have you tried eating the can
@@tideypods4808 have you tried eating a tide pod?
that can must be made of aluminium foil
reverandgreen
I agree...
No.. Galium!
That man must be made of muscle.
@Mary C
Don't know where you live, but here in America the cans are still thick.
And tomatoes and other acidic foods are fine in cans. They line them so the acids don't come in contact with the metal.
whahaha i think fold aluminum foil 10 time that's why so easy to open
Most cans are made of harder material.
ajaaniajaa indeed. I tried with a real can and it was almost impossible. Took me like 1 hour
Exactly! Didn’t work! Fucjed my hand
Jennifer Moreno-Farias u must be really really strong, cuz I tried for 15-20 mins and it didn’t work
Lmao I JUST did this with a normal spoon and opened 3 cans of corn and green beans in a few min. You guys must not be doing it right xD
Justin Ayers just don't know what you're talking about
Ohh man. If I am lost in the forests with a can .I just need to look for a spoon tree.
😂😂😂😂😂
It'll be right next to the canned goods tree.
Don't be so silly... you make the spoon out of the lid. Then open the can!
Sooo funny😐
Spoons do not grow on trees, but im sure you can find one under some rock.
I used the spoon from my folding set of utensils only to realize that it also had a folding can opener.
JAJAJAJAJ
Hope I have a can and a spoon in emergency case.
You're everywhere

And safety gloves.
WaterTester This is my first time running into them.
This will not work on most cans in the USA. The metal is way too thick. I have a can of Bush beans and I tried this... LOL. I'd have to be the Hulk to get it to work. Very strong cans here. Now I have no lunch. Yes, I was going to eat some beans for lunch. I like beans... haha. Come get some Catspit~!
Yup. If I tried on the cans here I'd end up opening my hand.
The video cans was probably made in China...
I was thinking the same thing; where he got that can from.
CatspitProductions yeah correct same in australia no chance
There is way to open a can without any tools, but you will need flat concrete surface.
use flat surface of cement concrete as sandpaper and sand down the top edges until the round top separates from the sidewall.

😂😂😂It actually worked! I thought this guy just had strong hands but with my weak hands, it actually worked. Thanks so much!
Thanks!
Just moved and I haven't bought a can opener yet, this came in handy :P. I dunno if you have super-strength or if your can is thin as paper, but I had a lot more trouble opening it than you seemed to do :P
Better than nothing though!
You have to be strong for this hack!
Jutay ka pa men
good job that jollof rice gave me the strength
@Guero Rodriguez wtf
Forgets to bring a can opener, doesn't forget to bring safety gloves lol.
this worked for approximately *one* person
I thought this was bs but it actually worked and I’m shook especially since I had a big can lol
it was really easy!
Thank you for just getting to the point. Earned my thumbs up.
While there are people saying there are no emergency situations like this, it can actually be useful in minor emergencies. There's been situations where people go on camping trips or something(for example) and forgot the can opener. Honestly, I don't think they are referring to post apocalyptic emergencies. However, technically speaking, cans and spoons are a lot more common than can openers, especially considering that there are usually multiple cans and multiple spoons, and usually one can opener.
It’s funny you bring this up. I’m preparing for a camping trip and realize I didn’t have an opener in my kit so I was curious and wondered how to open a can on a trip if I did forget one. So of course this has very practical usefulness!
Yeah I neeed it now
ANYBODY GOT AN EMERGENCY SPOON?
hahahaha
The MLGPro N00b no I have an emergency spork
The MLGPro N00b I only have an emergency chocolate bar.
He actually made a video of that already (though it is plastic and won't be much good)
I've got a fork and the handle of a spoon I beheaded to make a fishing lure.
Thx Dave this helped a lot
God bless you man, this was exactly what I needed.
You should've said this doesn't work with plastic spoons.
Went through my entire bag of them with no joy.
Well I tried heating the can... BUT then the spoons melted LMAO!!
Slow learner? Lol
@@rodneyballew9682 Common Sense 101
@@Snobert99 yep, all in good fun
Yeahhhh eeeehhhhhhh
this is either a very strong spoon or a very poorly made can,
iTeelock14 recycled 300 times
iTeelock14 it looks like an aluminum can
Thanks! This works!!
Thanks man. Really helped me out when I didn’t have can opener and and pull tab came off
I'm left-handed and can openers are my nightmares! thanks for the hack! 😄😃
You can look to my channel
Mr-i.k we don't care about your channel
Same lmao
Liz smith Seriously lol, u can't open cans with a can opener? I'm penis-handed and I can use a can opener just fine.
Liz smith as a left handed person to another just stick with the can opener
That's a flimsy can
Yes, that is an EXTREMELY flimsy can.. None of my cans or any can I can think of is made of metal as thin or as weak as that.. Is this an American can or something?
His accent sure isn't American...
Making black-eyed bean dhal for dinner tonight and my folks have gone off to a music festival. Didn't realise that they took our only can opener with them until I was halfway through the ingredient prep. Hope this works, and thanks in advance if it does.
*Edit:* Mission accomplished. Thanks for the save, chief.
I needed this for my chili. Thank you Dave!
there isa also an amazing method called "throwing it on the floor"

put it in a bag.

Thank you this really works and I doubted it lol!
I've been using my teeth the whole time! Thanks for this hack.
Mark hill Nacion : metoo. Now false teeth.
You must have a big mouth.
What are your teeth made of? I'm very sure those are not human teeth otherwise they would break
If I forgot to bring a can opener what make you think I remember to bring safety gloves?
Hi, thanks a lot for your video! Emm... just one small question, can we open the can with a plastic spoon?
Thank you for making this video short and not 6-7 minutes like other ones
I might just start crying. You saved my night. Stupid day at work and forgot my can opener snapped. Most of what I want to make meatball sandwiches is in a can (sauce and diced tomato/pepper mix). Thank you so much. As sad as this is, you saved my night. I had resigned myself to crappy TV dinners after being excited to have these sandwiches all day.
U still there?
@@sablbsablb5177 among us
I'll take Things That Didn't Happen for 500
@@skinnyfaty thats a very possible situation tho I think they was jus havin a hard day an rly lookin forward to those sandwiches😂
Suggest a Swing-a-way can opener, a Swiss Army Knife/Leatherman (lots of effort + sharp edges, but it DOES work!) Or your grandmother's can opener, which probably still works after 60 years.
Too much work , I rather starve to death .
ImRambo lmao
ImRambo 😂😂
ImRambo Me too, lol
ImRambo
You sound just like my 15 year old! Although idk she LOVES food...and she’s skinny. She’d HAVE to be starving though to try this. Lol
LMAO!
That was really helpful thank you so much
I'am totally amazed to see that... Im gonna try it Thanks Great Job
Fun fact: the can opener was invented 100 years AFTER the can.
It would be fun if it were invented BEFORE the can :')
So people use spoon before?
@@chocho6766 Knife probably.
pointless go brrrr
@@denis3208 actually, I'm pretty sure they used dynamite
very handy! much better than the knife 'trick' I've had to use in the past! thank you!
John Doe 😂😂
John Doe Random isn't funny
This saved me and my friend in the middle of the night of starvation🤣🤣
Over exaggeration. Hungry maybe 🤷♂️
Hahaha X2
This actually work! Thanks
Sliced my whole hand up. Thanks a lot Dave....
Lol
If it's emergency you probably won't have a spoon
ALEX L exactly
Matthew Bennett or you could have both and no CZcams
the tip is not how to open the can with a spoon its how to open a can in an "emergency"
If you don't have a spoon, use something sharp like a knife put the sharp side on the can and give a punch on it, repeat it until the can it open

Hi, I'm a reporter at Reach PLC. Would we be able to use this video in an article across our sites in our player with a credit to you? Thanks, Sophie
WOW... Just WOW.... I thank you for the information clip... Smart, never thought about it...
I always used to do that, my family grew up in Jamaica and Bahamas so we used knives and spoons.. We didn't have can openers😂
Tedisah Campbell I used my finger nail to open a can
razor games_ that's 1 strong nail
razor games_ what are u made of? 🙄
razor games_ Wolverine is that you?
same lmao
Thanks, I'll make sure to carry with me a plastic spoon always
GenJotsu plastic will break
De todos los videos que vi fue el único que me sirvió! Muchas gracias ❤
Cheers! You just saved me going out in the rain to find a can opener in a foreign country 😎🙏
I love the way he thinks someone would forget to carry a can opener but would have safety googles on them
I was so excited when I saw this that I've decided to do it right away, when I tried it my spoon bent and broke though 😂
Lol
Excelente gracias por la información
This worked for me! Thank you!
Now I know to always keep a spoon and a can of food with me at all times. 👍🏻
«It’s very sharp, be careful»
- Pfft I can do this without any problems..
Aaaand I did indeed cut myself, now my thumb is in full bandaid
Excellent....good job! All Smirkers stop smirking and take heed.
Instructions unclear. My microwave just switched places with my refrigerator
The lid so sharp you can use it as a ninja star so you got yourself a weapon as well as your sweetcorn.
Oh wow. I love how DaveHax isn't like all those other life hack CZcamsrs. Like, this looks very original, but it probably isn't. (PROBABLY) You make the video seems so interesting, and you totally deserve more subs. And the quote he uses in most of his videos is so funny: "Pretty cool, huh?"
Very well done!
OMG thank you so much!! I couldn't open it without this vid
I was extremely disappointed when I saw that the contents of the can was just corn.
It could have been something awesome like Sardines, corned beef or spam! But no, corn. 😪🌽
Timothy Freeman I was hoping for something like chili actually.
@@littielesbians I was expecting a full course meal with dessert and imported wine.
TROPHYSEEKER123 Nobody likes a smartass.
i was expecting pickles
Note to self: Do push-ups so that you don't starve to death in the event of an apocalypse
This may be an instance subscriber. Truly amazing
It works!!! My brother just managed to do it. Our cans are far thicker than in the video, but with a decent spoon and a lot of strength, he still managed to open the can! It was crazy!
sooo.... just use brute force? great tip
Sure, if you happen to have a brute nearby.
If you really hungry blisters who cares. Suggestion: 'use some soft clothing to prevent blisters' !!!
So lets see, I am in a zombie apocalypse with no can opener but I have safety gloves?
This is really useful and smart thank you
Thank you, very good information!!!

THANK YOU!! My boss forgot to order a can opener and now everyone thinks I'm a badass! 😂👍 much appreciated🙏 (reading comments) I'm in the US and this worked on an industrial size commercial can. I'm just sayin. It's LEGIT!
I think only women can do this 😂 I see many men saying that it does not work ... but it is actually very easy!
@@genesisdarianapenaloza899 dang the woman that made this video got a very masculine voice.
Thank you so much it worked!!
Worked for meee. Thank you!
I did this back in the 90s when I live in a dormitory. The things you do when you're hungry lol!
now show how to open with sponge
A Really neat trick, thank you
Right. Do you have a version of this video showing how to do this with a plastic spoon? Thanks!
I used your method, but I am allergic to corn and I died.
George Konstantinidis I pooped my pants I ate to much corn
George Konstantinidis haha
George Konstantinidis rip
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have always used a knife.🔪
You Make Me Laugh less chance of injuring yourself with a spoon.
Paul Honey How?
Marko Junttila because spoons tend to be blunt.
Paul Honey Yeah but how the hell do you even hurt yourself with knife
Marko Junttila because they tend to be sharp or have serrated edges and are therefore inherently less safe than spoons.
It worked thank you, packed everything up to move other then the essentials. And it actually worked. You need to have a well made spoon.
Now I'm ready for the zombie apocolypse
Please be sure to sharpen your spoon before you become stranded on a desert island.
ss rami I laughed so hard reading this, why are there only 13 likes?
Thank you so much for that 😊
Was skeptical, but now can confirm this method works, even when I thought my can would be too thick and my spoon handle too flimsy. I just moved house and can't find the can opener. A bit rough on the hand, but wrap a towel or cloth around the spoon handle first.Thanks youtube for saving the day!
"Pretty cool huh?" I find myself saying that at least twice a day 😂
