Re-Purposing the Can Opener

Admittedly, I was quite skeptical when I read about the newest way to put your can opener to work in Real Simple Magazine, but I'll be damned, it works!

A can opener effortlessly slices open those horrible plastic clamshell packages. You know the ones I'm talking about, the ones they were supposed to outlaw because they have sent many an anxious gift recipient to the hospital screaming obscenities as they tried to open their package. Well, no more! Pull out your can opener and show that plastic packaging whose boss.

I had my chance to test this theory today when I purchased a new little light bulb for our bathroom vanity. It was encased in a secure sandwich of plastic with tightly sealed seams. Just as I would open a can of beans, I clamped down on the package seam and turned the handle on my opener as it neatly sliced the side of the package right open. Amazing!

A Can Opener; Don't show up to Christmas morning with out one!
