That’s right: You can open a can with only a metal spoon. Even if you find yourself without a can opener, you likely have a metal spoon in your kitchen. This simple hack is fool-proof. It may sound ludicrous, but with a little friction, the metal of the spoon thins and cuts through the metal of the can lid.

It’s actually quite easy to open a soda can without a tab. This is because the indented tab area is still there, so all that you have to do is apply pressure to it. Instead of forcing it open with the edge of a tab, just force it open with the handle of a spoon or fork.
