When did opening a can become so difficult?Posted Oct 17th 2006 3:57PM by Bob SassoneFiled under: Science, Business, Television/Film, Trends, Stores & Shopping, Food Gadgets, New Products, Retro cookeryHave you seen the ad for that new can opener? I can't remember the name of it, something like The Spinner or Spinsanity or The Spinster. It's a self-powered, hands-free can opener. You just put it on the can and it opens it automatically, without any help from you. Actually, I don't think this is a "new" product as I saw something similar advertised a couple of years ago.First off, they show a lot of people using the old-fashioned manual can opener, and having such a hard time using it. It hurts their hands, cans fall off of it and the food goes everywhere on the floor, etc. Are these people uncoordinated or what? Second, it's interesting that they don't show much of the electric can openers. I think I saw one quick glimpse of one. But they can't really focus on the electric can openers, because that would lessen the value of this new device. They're not that much different, even if the hands-free and no sharp edge aspects are kinda cool.I still use a manual can opener. It doesn't hurt my hands, it's easier to clean than the usual electric, and it feels like I'm actually doing something in the kitchen.
