Ever been on the road and thought that you really wanted a cold beer but you wanted to drink it from the comforts of your hotel room? Ever bought that cold beer from the store and brought it back to your room to realize that you didn’t have a bottle opener? Yup, been there done that on a few occasions. Yes, I know there all sorts of different tricks to open bottles without a bottle opener, but I want to open my bottle without much effort.
