I went years not eating these because of the terror and anxiety of having to open one. And one day by chance (dropped it in the sink that had water in it.) I found the secret to not getting the piss scared out of you.

Here it is. These cans are cardboard. Cardboard disintegrates in water.

If you peel back just a little of the paper. And sit it in a bowl, Make sure the side you peeled is facing down. and pour in a little water.

Then quickly leave the room or put it in your fridge or something. And in a minute or two it will pop open. And you will hear it from a safe distance. And you will be okay.

If canned dough gives you PTSD, you know you can just make your own?

I don't like baking. And making anything with flour is a huge mess. Because I'm a messy bitch and that's what what.

Wow, I had that EXACT jack in the box growing up.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

You know what. I remember this one too. The box was tin right ?

Idk if it was mine or a cousin but I do remember playing with one. And trying to figure out how to predict the pop out based on song or tension of the arm but I don't think I ever figured it out.

Sorcery.

As long as you do it down the middle of the cardboard and not at the ends so the metal cap can fly off and smack you, there's nothing to fear. I just crack 'em against the corner of the counter top like an egg.

I don't possess your bravery.

I bet if they solved the opening problem they would sell a lot more. Whoever becomes a billionaire from reading this, please drop me like 50,000 please

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I know a lot of people that don't buy them for this reason.

There has to be a better way.

Why wouldn't they make a product with a built in way of forcing you to use it? Diabolical really.
