Why not just push the pushtop down?

Honestly... it's happened to me countless times before and I just grab something small and hard, like the handle of a butter knife, or a bic lighter, or anything really... and just pop down onto the scored part of the lid with whatever's hard in my hand... easy peasy. Easier than peeling the whole top off the can in any event.

Although, no hate to OP, peeling the top off the can does feel cool... so points for that, but 0 points for efficacy.

OP should have titled the picture, "Got frustrated when the tab didn't pop, and had to teach the can a lesson" would have gotten more upvotes than claiming this as "creative" methinks... still, no hate.

You can turn it into a hollowed out can and use it as a piggy bank

Last time a can wouldn't open for me, I was trying to get some conned fruit and ended up spending like 40ish minutes jackhammering the top of it with a metal fork. 100% worth it, in fact, I'd say it made them taste even better.

Oh, in my cases the tab broke off before the scored part of the lid was pushed down. I might've misunderstood what happened to OP, but in my cases as the tabs broke off (I don't remember the brand of drink) I just knocked the scored part of the lid inward with something hard. Just a little "bop" down holding something hard.

My best friends dad used to be a truck driver and he hauled the can tops almost exclusively. We had so many of them and we were always “gonna do something” with them. They’re probably still sitting in his moms house somewhere.

The rivet didn't hold. The whole tab pulled up, so it doesn't have the leverage to pop the top correctly and just keeps peeling from the middle of the can. You can see it in the picture, though it's easy to miss.

I get it. It’s funny because soda is the funniest of beverages.

That's one way of doing it. I use a screwdriver to pop the top when it gets stuck or breaks. But don't think that I didn't imagine cutting the top off the can too. I also toyed with the idea of using a nail to create two holes in the top to pour out the contents.

My best friend in highschool taught me how to open it like this with my teeth. Yesterday I was the best man in his wedding. Man, time flies.

You can just use something to pop it open by pushing down on the area that the tab would normally push down.

A pen, a lighter, a spoon, a key, whatever. Just a quick little jab would do it. You could even do it with the broken tab.

What everyone is saying is that you made an extra effort for no real reason by removing the top like that.

The "problem" was easily solved just by jabbing at the area the tab would normally dislodge with just about anything else.
