Did that guy put the tab into the beer???
Everyone used to do that. At least I did.
Yep. We used to do that all the time with those pull-tops. We saw that as being environmentally conscious as opposed to tossing them to the ground. We didn't worry about the germs either.
Innocent days. When you could ride in a jeep with a bear in the front seat with you sipping on a beer.
Sure, we all did that so as not to throw the tab on the ground. They were not connected to the can at the time.
We used to pull off the tab and use it to make chains bragging on how much we drank. Of course many of those were soda pop can tabs.
They were banned because too many people were throwing them in lakes and the sparkle of them floating downward caused the fish to hit it as bait, swallowing the tab and die.
I met someone not long back, who did know what a “Church Key” was for!
Yes, lots of people did back then. I did not, I could see swallowing the thing.
The pull tabs made good fishing lures. Attach to line, put a treble hook on it and cast away. Always caught a respectable Northern Pike that way.
