I remember as a child in the seventies that some cans still came with that little key for rolling the lid open rather than using a can opener. The pop top wasn't around yet. I wanna say I remember that coming around 1980ish.

The first can opener was invented in Jan 1858.

The first can was invented in 1810.

Some real creative people in 1810-1857.
