I have a practical tip on how to open a can without an opener. Roll or fold a piece of paper, like from an A4 sheet or receipt, until it’s firm. Hold the can with one hand and vigorously rub the paper’s edge against the pull tab joint repeatedly. The friction from rubbing creates a slight heat that helps soften the aluminum seal, while the pressure from the carbon dioxide inside the can adds an extra push, making it easier for the tab to pop open. It’s a quick fix, but be cautious, the can’s edge can be sharp, and flimsy paper might tear. Note that this trick might not work on all can designs.
