I remember as a child in the seventies that some cans still came with that little key for rolling the lid open rather than using a can opener. The pop top wasn’t around yet. I wanna say I remember that coming around 1980ish.
The first can opener was invented in Jan 1858.
The first can was invented in 1810.
Some real creative people in 1810-1857.

Peanut butter was invented in 1895, so there were 33 awkward years before PB&Js.
Fun fact:
The tin can was invented in 1810.
45 years later, in 1855, the first can opener was patented.
The 1928 invention was the bread slicing machine, it was the store bought pre-sliced bread that started in 1928.
The concept of slicing bread existed for at least a few years before 1928.
And this, ladies and gentleman, is why memes aren’t a good source for history.
That’s honestly pretty cool though, this is just one of those things I tend to take for granted.
