i want to know why matches say "keep away from children" - i mean it's good enough advice but seems a bit non-specific to matches.
Ah well, we all have our crosses to bear, specially this time of year.

It still adds £££ to the production cost of each and every can.

everything these days is contract/sub contract anyway....maybe you need to open a fully automated ring pull canning plant, and then get on the phone to "happy shopper" ?

Arent they annoying tho on beans etc when the last bit sticks, you pull a bit harder only to spray tomato sauce over your shirt or wall (depends which direction you happen to be aiming) when the lid finally breaks off

The last 'pull' is always the hardest
However, you can of course still use a can opener, but sometimes the top ridge is too high, hence you have to turn the can upside down and use the bottom ridge which has a lower profile.

Professor Hans Rausing is his name (a Swede) should you want to call him and discuss your thoughts & ideas on food packaging technology (although he sold Tetra years ago).
