How to Open a Bottle Cap without a bottle cap opener

This is how you open a bottle cap when you don't have a bottle cap opener in hand.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A bottle
• a lighter
• a seat bealt (optional)

1. Grab a bottle with one hand, and a lighter with another. Wrap your hand tightly around the neck/top of the bottle, to where you should only be able to see the bottle cap sticking out from the top of your fingers.

2. grab an ordinary lighter, and stick it's upper corner in between your index finger, and the bottom of the bottle cap. It should be placed under the metal teeth of the bottle cap.

3. pull up as hard, and fast as you can, just like you would with an ordinary lever; if the bottle cap budges, but doesn't come off completely, spin the bottle neck around to another part of the cap, and this should finish off the job, and open it off completely.

4. 
    

   If you do not have a lighter, use the metal tip of a seat bealt buckle.

Tips & Warnings

on 6/25/2009 Great, now when I'm driving all I have to do is unbuckle my seat belt and use the metal tip to open my beer bottle. Ingenious. :)
