Strange, I don't recall soda ever coming in non-pop-top cans. Back then it
was always in bottles, and so the classic "church key" was only for beer.
Most of them did have a bottle-opener on the other end; but the can end was
what made it a church key. My folks had no money for such luxuries when I
was a kid, getting a bottle of "sody pop" on the farm was quite a treat.
Remember when the tabs came off the can ? Some people used to collect them
and make necklaces and whatnot. A friend of mine was fond of dropping it
back into the can, which lead him to the oft-repeated question : "If it's
the bubbles that make the tab float to the top, why doesn't the can float ?"
I hung out with some pretty strange people ... but then so did they <g>
