A bottle opener.
I second this. Worth it just for the countless “I got you, bro” moments when you’re with friends and family.
I used to carry a bottle opener but it had been YEARS since I used it and decided that 99% of the time that there’s bottles that aren’t twist, that it’s at my house and I have to walk further to get my keys than the opener that is attached to my fridge.
A bic lighter works good too, or anything about the same size and shape.
Yeah, I used to carry an opener before but once you know what you're doing everything is a bottle opener.
And really what you’re doing is peeling the metal back enough to release let air flow into the bottle. Once you get the edge up, the vacuum seal is broken.
Always freaks me out when people use their teeth though.
Agreed, seeing someone open a bottle with their teeth is like nails on a chalkboard for me.
My bottle opener is built into my wallet, two for one and solves that issue!
