Why is it that 95% of them revolve around a bottle opener ???

Surely I'm not the only tea totaler  out there :think:

What do you suggest they put there instead? I suspect it's fairly easy to put in compared to the other options, and in its form factor tools on the key chain usually target those who would drink...

And I imagine they love testing it out. ;D

I'm not sure what you'd put there in it's stead, just that a bottle opener's pretty useless to me :-\

Now a can opener in the vic vein however...

Generally requires a sharp edge though.

What if it was modeled on the combo tool, though?  :D

Maybe not the only one, but definitely in a minority!

Weirdo.

Well, yeah they are.  :D  They wouldn't cut you would they, where as a can opener edge like a Vic could be more prone to.

I think it carried on from when most bottles needed a bottle opener even pop bottles and there was a big need then,maybe no one has told them most bottles use screw tops now  :think:

I guess I had better not mention you can open a bottle with a wedding band as well :ahhh  :oops: I just did  :D

Then wouldn't the edge need to be specially ground or filed to taper down? Sounds like work to me. Wouldn't mind it being there though. :D
