I own a heavy duty manual. I use it to open black olives, which need no cooking. You could add bottle openers, and the brown bag under to the bottle cap collection, which later led to beer can collection.

Jenny was asked to look in on my place last time I was out of town. She was awestruct that I had no soda in the fridge. I simply dont buy the crap.

We just had a new mall complex open nearby- hmmm- including a starbucks.

Related to cans, can openers and canning:

Marinara sauce, that red stuff we put in or on all sorts of things, particularly pasta, gets its name from the people it was developed for and intended to feed - mariners. Tomatos and tomato sauce, being so acidic, can easily. To my knowledge (quite limited in this, but voluiminous in completely useless areas - I'm a veritable plethora of useless information) is that marinara sauce was the first "canned" food. I guess sailors of yore lived on pasta, marinara sauce and limes.

I developed a taste for canned spam!
I even learned to warm it up as I travel on 2 wheels.
Get flat rectangular can remove the labels, get 2 large steel hose clamps attach to the exhaust pipe close to headers.
Warm up time depends on speed and which gear you used for travel. Open can eat warm spam.

Moloch, you get the award. On a forum where people talk about eating each others' feces and stuff like that, you have managed to gross me out. I got some good jokes for you.

Now you sick puppy, SPAM MUST BE FRIED ! My God Man what planet are you from ?

Look, help is available. Just get the bailing wire out, slice the spam and wire it up to the pipes, stopping to turn them over for the ride back. Then when you get home you will have good spam.

Note : Do not try to melt cheese on the spam on the pipes, the stain can be very hard to scrub off.

Hope this helps.
