Lol 😀 I used the spoon version on my thumb and it hurt. I was thinking holy crap exactly how strong are you!? Then I relooked at video and used index finger. yeah that worked pretty easily. Thanks 😀
I literally opened a sparkling wine bottle with only a spoon and I am amazed that it worked in fact this was the only video I had to watch to figure out how to open it
it actually worked, thanks!
The spoon technique worked. Thank you. 💕
Tried openong a Cola bottle with a spoon and it worked. Thanks!
I tried with tongue and it worked. It’s super easy.Thanks

33 Seconds in and problem solved, thank you very much!
Thank you so much for this video
If I saw someone using my spoons to open capped bottles, I think i'd might lose my mind.
My life has changed for the better
Bic lighter
Bic lighter?
What no bic lighter.
Cool video
Thanks for the info. 💕
or just pop it off the edge of like literally anything.. table.. chair… stair….
Molars also work
I use my nokia 3210 to pop my red horse bottle before hahaha!!!
this girl knows how to party!
They are running out of ideas cooped up in their homes.
You can use another “capped” beer bottle also!
I learned to do the spoon one with my Bic cigarette lighter back in my uhhhh…. younger “party” years.
I use the spine part of a pocket knife lol
i've found that opening a bottle w/the last bottle you you finished is the easiest
I love that ATK is not too stuffy to post a video like this. My suggestion for episode 2: what to use when you're on the commuter train. Last time I was in this situation, asked the guy sitting next to me, do you have a bottle opener or a lighter? He was like, "Uhhh…. what are you trying to do??"
Very cool! But isn’t there a bit of a problem with the bottle caps flying all over the place?
Except almost every good beer comes in cans now
Que the Thug Life music!
We need more of these recipes. They are much easier to follow.
Recorded horizontally:)
ATK IS RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS.Can you teach me how to make El Salvadoran Papusas
She's doing God's work.
that spoon one is totally wrong…you use the handle not the head….or you risk buggering up the spoon.
This video should be called how to open a beer bottle without and you don't smoke
I am a retired electrician and as an apprentice if you had any ability at all you had to open your beer with every tools in your box including your pencil. I excelled at that part of the trade
Hmm, I thought everybody knew how to do this by the time they left high school (or, in countries with higher alcohol age: midway through of college).
I was hoping she'd use a knife. I've watched Romanians do it a few times, and it's still a mystery to me. I'd try it myself, but I'm afraid I'll cut into my leverage hand.
So may people chip teeth because they never met or saw you on the internet! Thanks I will pass it on!
Pro tip from Bavaria: Never open a bottle of Weihenstephaner Beer 😂
