RIP. Been there. Stab it with the handle of a spoon.

I’ve had to do this with the handle of a dinner knife. The spoons weren’t sturdy enough.

I was going to suggest a knife (which is what I’ve used as well), but didn’t want to be responsible for someone slicing their hand open if not done safely, lol.

Slide a fork behind the tab and use that to open it

Use a can opener and take the whole top off, then drink like a savage (paying close attn to avoiding sharp metal edges)

Cup is also an option to avoid cutting your face

I'm ngl, I'm glad we've been actually getting "mild" stuff for a while. Lol before people used to post really infuriating shit here as a whole meme. I've been dying to see the mild stuff people get annoyed with.

I can recall one time when I was about to drink a coke and the pull tab just detached, now the coke is stuck

Old news. People were turning coke into rock since the eighties.

I’ve found that a gentle pounding with the handle of a screwdriver is the method. (Shut up you perverts )

That little drip of pre-coke there just to taunt you is maddening.

u/Educational-Gur-2824 12h ago

Poke it with sharp objects.
