For me easy-open cans are not easy to open...

So now many of the canned goods are made with an easy-open lid. You just pull on that thingy (whatever that's called) and boom your can is ready to eat. No need for a can opener of any kind. Quick and hassle-free. Not in my case. I always have a hard time opening those kinda cans. Sometimes I get lucky and after lots of trying I am able to fully remove the lid. Others times not the case. I either have to ask hubby for help or, if he is not around, try to use a manual can opener from the days of the Soviet Union, to do the rest, if the modern can opener doesn't work. Or I end up leaving it halfway removed and have hubby take it off when he gets home, as was the case today. I guess they did this to prevent people from cutting themselves but in my opinion you are more likely to cut yourself trying to pull that thing all the way off the can.
