Putting the beer tab in the can is a bad idea. Today, they would be sued out of existence the first time someone swallowed one.

Lots of people did. It was responsible. Kept people from getting their feet cut at the beach or park.

Yeah, it's a different world now. Nobody got sued when people swallowed those things back then. A guy my sister went to college with did it. Back then you just went to the doctor and they extracted the tab and you learned your lesson.

Putting the beer tab in the can is a bad idea. Those pop tops were everywhere, a real menace if you dared walk around barefoot outside, especially on a beach. I think people were encouraged to drop them in the can as a result.

In 1000 years archaeologists will be digging up pop tops and identifying them as religious symbols due to how common they are found everywhere. That's the default when they don't know what something was for: 'religious artifact' or 'religious ceremony'

It is a bad idea. But people did it.
