Tell me what you really think.
Remember when it was cool to save the other kind of ring-pull tabs off the top of pop? *teehee*
And then if a boy liked you, he would give you a perfectly whole, barely bent pop top.
I liked to save mine & bend them around my keychain, with the boy's name writ 'pon it.
*sigh*
Jeez, how OLD am I??? 
Mamacita, you make me smile. Loved this.
You're a good citizen, Mamacita.
Heavens, I'm glad you weren't done in by that pop top long ago...the world would be just a little darker without you in it, Mamacita.
Kids now have a nifty trick: they pop the tab up ever so slightly so it looks as though the can hasn't been opened, then drink the contents and leave behind a perfectly intact can.
I have a girlfriend (well, a couple of them, actually) who lives a cleaner, more wholesome life than I do, and she's been campaigning to get me to quit diet Coke (and diet root beer) for almost as long as I've known her. To hear her say it, choking on the pop top is the LEAST of my concerns; the direness of the effects of the artificial sweeteners is horrific. Does this stop me? No. No, it does not.
Aluminum manufacturers have got to love you!
Years and years and years ago in my sort-of-wanna-be hippy days, we used to connect the pulled-off pop tops into chains and hang them in our windows. The sparkle was lovely and was also a measure of certain kinds of drinking prowess. While living in my first apartment by my ownself I wanted to be sure the chains were non-sticky and so I draped them in my dishwasher to clean them up. Not a good idea. I removed what remained of the chains from the 'washer before the repairman got there, but he found the errant ones in the (whatever it was that hiccupped and burnt out) and frowned at me severely, but I didn't have to pay for the new part or anything.
Ah -- the foolishness of youth!
