ahh yes, I remember them, hit the side of the can on the side of the counter and they POP open...I think they are still around.
Do you remember can openers that you put on the wall and turn a crank to open a can...I still have one.

Sure do. I'm having a problem with my right hand and have trouble using a normal can opener. I've found a hand version of the wall opener that has the long handle and I'm thinking about getting one. My mom used to make donuts out of the can biscuits by cutting holes in them and frying them. They weren't as good as store bought, but were still a treat.

Take canned biscuits, roll them out, add a little flour and wrap them around wieners and bake them. It makes a tasty kid snack.

Sounds like a tasty big people treat...I adore wieners, 'specially on the grill

No, I remember canned brown raisin bread.

Yes, me too!! You had to open both ends to get it out.

Yes, when leaving this morning for Dallas. The girl next door was outside. Chatted with her a moment and said gotta go and gas up. That started conversation. What happen to the good ole days what ya pulled up at a gas station and said filler-up, and do the windsheild please.LOL
2 dollars worth of gas made the gas arrow move near a half tank, LOL

There's one station here in Waco that has a full service island. They, also, have a self service island. The gas is about a nickel cheaper for self service. They, also, do light repair work and oil changes. Unfortunately, the owner is trying to sell it because he's getting old. It's been on the market for 2 years with no takers. A lot of elderly people go there. It's also closed on Sunday.

the blue law?

No. Texas doesn't have a blue law anymore. He goes to church on Sundays so he doesn't open.

I'm well aware of that. Have been a texan right at 50 yrs. That was a joke. Guess I'm the only one that got it:) Have been thinking of a day of rest from my cumputer. Some what like a small sacrifice. That proves my point, that 76% of what ppl. say is misunderstood. It's all good, if you keep that in mind. Oh well enough of that. Memories are fun, subtract the bad ones, don't entertain them. Seems the sneak in now and then. Take Care.
ps,that was a mouth full.

foxy,,,For ten bucks, I bought a can opener that turns itself,,,you just hook it onto the can push the button and voila it goes around the can and cuts like a charm...

I remember those canned bisuits. It was my one job to do exp. on a Sunday for dinner. They are still around and just as tasty as ever.

If you quarter them, roll them in flour and add them to chicken stock and the usual ingredients, they make good dumplings! My mom and g'mom used a pressure cooker to make Cs & Ds. Yummy!
