Pull tabs cost more.
Also, they sometimes fail, which is where a can opener is useful.

You don’t need a can opener for a jar moron

have never seen a tuna can without pull tab...

>>11561451
You know that you don't need a can opener for self canning right? You do it in Mason jars.

What point are you trying to make?

>>11561445
Tuna is nasty garbage fish. Canned tuna even more so.

These piss me off. They don’t stack up as satisfactorily as cans in my pantry.

>>11561445
Canned tuna ruined itself by being grossly over cooked and packed in water.

>>11562261
Ok, mom!

>>11561445
Is it just me or has canned tuna gotten more expensive in the last few years. Even the garbage storebrand cans are over a dollar.
And I'm not paying that much for fish that's only good to be mixed in with mayonnaise

>>11561449
Retarded to have them on tuna cans, because you can't use the lid to squeeze out the water.

Yep 'crack' *sips* "takes out ol' trusty P-38" spend 2 mins opening can ...Nice! fucken millennials

What's a god can opener that doesn't cost a fortune? My last apartment had a really nice electric mounted one, but after I moved I haven't really had much luck. The Walmart ones are somehow worse than the Dollarama ones. Max budget for a can opener that ACTUALLY OPENS CANS is $10.

>>11562634
A bad can opener is fucking torture. I made do for years with this shitty Betty Crocker crap.
I upgraded to a Master Chef (which I think is the Canadian Tire store brand) and it's been a joy.

Who eats food from cans? Just buy fresh food.

You can't compress it though. You get soggy tuna that way

>>11561445
This is hilarious. Am millennial and have had personal struggles with can openers in the past. Bought a cheap one at my grocery store one day and the thing is a piece of shit. It is so inadequate it cannot open cans. I stopped fucking buying bush beans and bought the goya jew beans instead cause it has a peel off top, hilarious.

>>11562898
Just spend 10-15 on one that you'll own for the rest of your life

I don't know how people get by without ever owning a can opener. Canned tomatoes and beans are just so much more convenient

>>11561445
canned tuna is for retarded overgrown children that can't cook for themselves

I own a can opener only because I still buy canned tomato sauce and coconut milk

>>11561449
Have four:

>Increased cost
>Tab can break off
>Seal more likely to fail
>Risk of cuts from sharp edges

>>11562912
tuna casserole is a great go-to when you're too tired to actually cook

>>11561463
do pull tabs cost more than having nobody buy your product because nobody opens a can opener
if some chink cant afford an extra .03 cents per can do they really deserve the business

>>11562922
>>Risk of cuts from sharp edges
Not much of an argument since can openers leave super sharp edges too

>>11561445
I remember liking tuna as a little kid (3-4) then my hippie mom boycotted it until they started putting 'dolphin safe' on the cans. So the whole time we didn't eat tuna I really wanted some and was excited as fuck when we finally were allowed to eat it again. Funny thing is, it didn't taste as good as I remembered. I don't know if it was because I only love what I can't have (definitely), or because dolphins are tasty motherfuckers.

>not opening your cans with a p-39

>>11562938
Can openers don't require the type of forceful pull that a tab does. I open both traditional and tab style cans on a regular basis in my kitchen and on the rare occasion I cut myself it's always a tabbed can.

>>11563004
Food tastes so much stronger the younger you are. It's why vegetables tasted so awful but as an adult they're tasty.
It continues to happen as you age too. It's why teens hate beer, straight whisky, etc. It's why old people love hot sauce.
Eventually, nothing tastes like much. It's why old people food is just slop. Not like they can taste a difference

>>11562817

I have an idea. How about we as a species stop fucking buying/using can openers? Lets just pretend they don't exist since they're all complete shit. It's fucking 2018, we shouldn't fucking need them anyways.

>>11564143
While he might be retarded, I think what he's trying to say is cheap can openers these days are so awful they're not worth using.

He's fucktarded for changing products though. He should be buying a better/older can opener instead.

>>11564172
Opposite faggot
We should use can openers
It puts the onus on us
WE put the effort in
We get to eat the food made better by less effort made in the canneries

Yes, let's stop using all tools while we're at it.

I am a millenial and I own a can opener. Some canned ingredients are worth it for sure. I keep going through them though. I fucking hate it. The best can opener only lasts a few months.

Is there a single good can opener that actually lasts?

How much does a can of tuna cost where you are? It can't possibly be so expensive that it's "unaffordable", even to the most brain-dead woman.

In Northern Ontario, a mid-brand can of tuna averages less than $0.80 (CAD). That's hardly breaking the bank.

Post your tuna salad/mayo recipes. Does celery belong there? Capers or pickles?

What the fuck are you gong to do except tuna fish salad?

There is nothing but shite you can make from a can
I can't believe Americans actually have hierarchies about garbage

>>11564319
>he's so uncreative in his cooking that he can't fathom canned food tasting anything other than canned
Moving away from the faggotry that is your mind, you can do a lot with canned tuna (and other foods) besides making a mayo sandwich or a mayo "salad".
Mix it with some rice or potatoes and veggies, add it as a compliment to some pasta, make a casserole, spice it up and make a nice sauce to go with crackers for a snack.
The fact that you can't imagine doing anything with it because "dude it's in a can!" speaks worlds to your "skills" in the kitchen.

>>11564216
What the hell? I’ve been using the same can opener for like 10 years.

>>11564319
I always keep the Ingredients for this dish on hand for when I don’t have them time/energy/desire to cook. It’s simple but actually really delicious.

https://youtu.be/1q6Q05DqtU8

Also totally writing off tinned ingredients is completely retarded.

>>11562912
Haha, wow. Sounds like you'll have nothing at all to eat when the NWO actuates their final solution.

>>11564111
Nigger what? My mom probably opened half a dozen cans a week when I was growing up and that rusted, indestructible piece of shit still works just fine now that I own it. I've never even heard of a can opener breaking.

Can openers which cut from inside the rim and are a slight nuisance to get started, or can openers which cut below the rim on the side and are way easier to start but leave a sharper edge on the can? I like the latter.

>>11564203
Perfect.
I'm opening a cannery and would love to sell you a rock to open my food like products with.

>>11561445
Wow its almost as if people are paying attention to how much mercury goes into their body now.

I eat enough canned tuna that I'm probably suffering heavy metals poisoning and have since I moved out of home at 19 (25 now).

It's a cheap and easy source of protein for anyone without much money/students that you can just stack your shelf with. At least in Aus.

>>11561445

>using tools that will fail
>not going back to basics
>not opening cans like our stone age ancestors intended
>not getting a more natural experience when opening a can of tuna

Rocks are also GMO-free

>>11561445
Holy fuck what a non complaint. This thread makes you guys sound like the fragile children.

>>11565067
what is this dude doing? grindint the can to create friction? is he heating the can up to loosen the seal or something? anyways that just will put metal fragments in your food?

>>11565080
Grinding away the metal until it is thin enough to simply open the can.

>>11562238
proof that only man children eat tuna

>>11561445
how's that even possible?

the only can opener I need

>>11561449
Tab cans are a weaker construction, and the scored lid that allows the tab top to open can break open if too much pressure is aplied in storage, or if the can is dropped, which can make a giant mess.
Also, the tab lids tend to spring at towards the end of the lid popping action, spraying fish juice all over, and canned fish juice is smelly.
The thin metal cans made out of aluminum used for packing certain tupes of fish also don’t work well with some can openers if you prefer not to use the pop top.
My preference for a can opener is the Zyliss/Kuhn Rikon/Swiss style safety type which scors the lid lip, since this allows you to put the lid back on for storage if only eating part of a can.

>>11567701
Nice!

>>11562634
Find one of the Zyliss/Kuhn Rikon Safety can openers that scores the lid lip.
Both my parents had arthritis, but they could use the plier type can openers from both companies far easier than an electric can opener.
Having a US P38 can opener as a backup cor certain can types is a plus.

>>11565108
>has no idea what size tuna are

>>11564218
Canned Tuna varies from stuff that tastes good with large “whole” slabs of fish, to stuff that’s basically tuna dust in liquid.
Last I checked the better whole canned tuna slabs where like $2 or more a can.
The canned Tina that sais ‘Mackerel’ tastes much better.

>>11564111
I've had the same $1.99 can opener since 2009.
You're just retarded, sorry.

>>11562238
you're a nasty mother fucker, my vector..

how the fuck do you break a god damn can opener?

sounds like Big Tuna needs a bailout to help them pull themselves up by their bootstraps

Plenty of us millenials are poorfags and buy generic canned food. We definitely own can openers.

>>11568036
I'm assuming they're talking about those faggot twisty type for limp wrist faggots

Can someone direct me to a good, asthetically pleasing can opener? I've had pic related for a while and I hate it. I want something with a better grip, and a much better look, the fuck is this thing even supposed to be? Its like a three legged UFO

I've been using a Magican for a few years now and it's been great. The trick to keeping it sharp is to never wash it.

>>11568036
if you don't have this kind of can opener, you're a faggot

>canned foods
Do boomers really?

This trope needs to go.

The problem isn't this generation, it's businesses refusing to adapt.

this sentiment among american businesses is hilarious; it shows how spoiled and powerful corporations are here

>>11562137
Absolute madman!

>>11568173
Its more journalism than businesses. Plenty of businesses are adapting just fine, but some newspaper boomer needs to write about every shitty thing we kill

Speaking of Subway, my usual sandwich is about $20. I get every meat and every cheese, usually do a few different sauces, and that's it. None of those fuckin' veggies that have been sitting out for twenty weeks.

It's delicious, and worth every penny. Not even joking around,

My savage viet ex would brace the can between her bare feet and stab a big kitchen knife along the rim while spinning it with her feet. It scared the shit out of me.
I tried getting her a couple of can openers but she threw them both away.

>>11562817
Haha but do you have SOY in your canned products! I think not, sir!

>>11568455
What a fat pig you must be.

>>11568727
I'm actually horribly underweight. I get Subway maybe two or three times a year, it's a treat. Outside of that I mostly live off eggs, those Jamaican patties, and Pizza pops, usually one a day.

Millenials think that because they need to hire a person everytime something goes wrong at their house, no one can survive the apocalypse without a full house staff.

>>11561445
They're missing out. A tuna salad sandwich is one of the few good recipes to come out of that era of cooking.

>>11571695
Who the fuck actually plans on going through the apocalypse with fully functioning plumbing? Do they know that people have built entire houses themselves from scratch? Who is actually expecting to have fully functioning electricity?

Damn, these people are morons. Without a modern OR, imaging technology, and a laboratory, doctors are going to be mostly useless beyond basic trauma repair but even then a dentist is going to have more practice with suturing than your average PCP just because of the nature of the work.

A battlefield medic would actually be much more useful and have more practical skills.

if you buy the ones with small rectangular shapes, they will break on the 2nd or 3rd can

theres like a 10-12$ version of this one

>>11572039
