Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
A burly dude put his pulled tabs INSIDE THE CAN BEFORE he drank it because he was too lazy to throw it away.
YES! And after watching that I always hassled my dad and uncles about doing the same thing.
I think Randolph Mantooth is my best friend's biggest crush of All Time.
I remember making chains (to be turned into belts and jewelry and all sorts of stuff) with the pull-tabs when I was little. When did they stop using them, anyway?
I'm going to go to the Whole Foods deli bar for lunch and get some Tuscan Chicken salad -- well, really just the salad.

They often ended up as litter, while the attached ones stay with the can.
ION, I had steak, eggs, hashed browns, toast and juice for breakfast. Why am I hungry three hours later?
Must be some alien parasite living in my chest, huh?

The stay-tab (cool! learn something new every day!) was patented in 1975; pull-tabs had been around since the early 60s. Also, Wikipedia has EVERYTHING. [link]
When, not why. They're of the same generation as the vending machines at the summer family camp still having glass bottles. (And doors! You put your money in, the door unlocked, and you pulled a bottle from the slot and all the other slots then locked down!) That was late seventies/early 80s.
I also remember the toe in the faucet episode. And I had a crush on Johnny Gage and M best friend had a crush on Roy, so it was all good.
LOVED the old bottle machines. If I still lived in the southwest I bet I would have one by now. We would get Fanta Orange and Grape from them and if we were really lucky they would partially freeze when opened and you would get slushy soda. mmmmmmm.
Oh, you totally would!
I remember drinking 7-up and Squirt. And Orange Crush because I spilled it all over my Holly Hobby sleeping bag when the wind blew the tentpole over while I was inside.
