How do you open a can of Campbell soup when you don't have a can opener?

[simon]

Well there are several options here, the first being forget the campbell's soup and find better quality food, the second being to repeatedly smash your fingers trying to open the can with a rock, the third being to use your razor sharp blood sucking teeth to shred the can, and the fourth being to buy the easy open pull tops in the future and settle for a meal of crackers at the moment.

Stab it with a blade made of tungsten alloy. Or a diamond. Very big, sharp diamond. Ice pick.

Ooh! Ooh! Bottle opener. Do you have one of those beer bottle openers with the little hooky blade on the other side? That would work.

[verybaddmom]

a screwdriver works. flathead. and if you have a hammer. if not a coffee cup will do, but hit it straight on, or the cup will shatter.

[ajoe]

LOL... the only thing I have around are... paperclips, a guitar pick, stapler/staples, holepuncher, and a spoon. Well, I also have 2 tennis balls, but they won't help, will they?

[emily655321]

Okay, what you have to do: open the stapler and lodge the guitar pick in the spring so there's a lot of stress on it, then brace the spoon in it, and... no, wait... Um...

....................Bang the round side of the can next to the edge repeatedly with the hole punch like a monkey until it explodes. Even if it doesn't work, I get to picture you making an *** of yourself. :lol:

[verybaddmom]

you could amuse yourself knocking the can over by throwing tennis balls at it until you starve to death. otherwise, i would hop over to the nearest restaurant or cafeteria and beg use of their can opener.

[amuse]

you haven't got scissornails? ;)

[emily655321]

Sciss...oh, nail clippers? I think you'd break them before you opened the can.

[amuse]

*was thinking goofily of edward scissorhands*

[emily655321]

Oohhhhh. Well that makes more sense. :D (Now you've got me thinking about Edward Scissorhands. Yum. :p)

[simon]

Now that "yum" I am inclined to agree with, however dismally and halfheartedly. Perhaps asking a neighbor would be the best option to pursue.

[ajoe]

Cool advices! I'll let you guys know when I get the can opened.

[emily655321]

We'll all be waiting on 'bated breath.
(The sad thing is, that isn't sarcasm.)

[ajoe]

*laughing out loud*

I was applying pressure on the top of the can with the sharp edge of my stapler and then it bent! (The edge, I mean, not the can.)

[ajoe]

Hmm... I continued applying pressure with scissors instead and I've got a small hole now on the top of the can now. It's killing me cause now I can smell the chicken!

[ajoe]

Tasted a drip. Yummmm.... (yea, I'm desperate)

[ajoe]

yay!!! I got another hole opened and now the soup is pouring down my glass!!!

[ajoe]

I got happy too soon. The holes are too small that whatever solid thing there can't get out. :(

[ajoe]

Mmm.... soup....

[emily655321]

LMAO Have you eaten anything at all since yesterday morning, or have you been waiting for the soup this whole time? :D

P.S. I bet if you keep punching holes next to each other you can make a perforation and cut it open with a knife. Make sure you don't get metal shards in your soup and cut open your tummy!
