Can Opener Day is celebrated in the United States of America.
Can Opener Day is celebrated by the people of America.
Although it is difficult to find out who exactly started the day, the original can opener was invented in 1858.
We do not know who started this day but the can opener was invented by Ezra J. Warner in 1858.
When canned food was invented, a can opener became a very important tool as the lids were supposed to be cut off, which was seen as a hassle by people. To get rid of that, Warner invented a tool to easily open cans.
There are no specific traditions or customs for this day, but you could try using a can opener more than usual on this day.
To celebrate this day, you can search the internet about its history, and maybe know more about its invention. You can also use the can opener to eat some delicious canned food on this day!
It is a tool that is used to open tins.
You can cut off the lid to open it without a can opener but this is difficult and can be dangerous, as you can easily cut yourself.
It is advisable to open a tin with a can opener, then use a spoon to lever the lid off, so you don't cut yourself. However, some people say that, if you rub the lid of a tin can for long enough with a warm metal spoon, it will eventually wear through the lid.
You can open a can of tuna by using a sharp knife but this is not advised!
Use a can opener.
