There are people here who can probably remember that when you walked down the street, you'd probably come across a ring-pull tab every yard or so - they were more common in the gutters than cigarette butts. There were so many of them lying around, you could collect sacks of them and give them to charity.
Obviously, I'm not old enough to remember that myself. I read it somewhere. |

If you seperated the ring from the tab, slot the tab in the groove you could fire it clear across the room |

@ Slightly was there ever any charity that would accept ring pulls?
I thought it was a big hoax.
My MIL wouldn't believe me and made us shift a whole load of them when she moved. I tried reasoning that the cans would be more valuable than the ring pulls but so and so had said the ring pulls were what was needed so that's what was being collected!
What did Minstrels used to be called, I'm sure they had another name.
We used to stop on the way home from swimming at a shop that sold pokes of toffee doddles, sports mixtures and sherbet that came in a twist of paper |

There was actually a couple charitys here in the US that did take them. they would turn them in for recyleing.all those pull tabs were worth some money in scrap metal. |

I still doubt it Packman
The can themselves would be far more valuable as scrap.

^^ We've just recieved a big packet of those mate, we had a challenge on night shifts as to who can say the most dodgy sounding saying to the other players. We put them all face down, like dominos, then each select one. Each person reads out loud to the others.. The one with the campest sounding saying gets to eat all the other players sweets.
For example, "Hello", "Hunk" and "Funny face" are trumped in the manly gayness stakes by "Cuddle me" or "Hold me".
I think you have to be there for the effect. |
