That's right! I remember, that's when so many guys had to carry around a little church key on their key chain lol
Oh lord, what memories, I was only a teenager, but this I remember.

Yup. I remember my Dad bought lots of Schaeffer and other brands with that type of top.
Of course, he didn't know that I would quaff down one or two behind his back!
Today, I still have one of those can openers that was made by Rheingold beer. It must be at least 45 years old by now!
