1000 ways to open a beer bottle
Yesterday I posted a video that shows how to open a beer bottle with another beer bottle. The guy who demonstrated the method explained that it was the Scandinavian way to open beer bottles.
In a matter of minutes, email starting pouring in from outraged Germans who claim that Germans, not Scandinavians, invented the technique. As proof, German Stefan Lampert pointed to this German "blog dedicated to the art of opening a bottle of beer." My favorite is the one that uses an espresso portafilter to open a bottle. Link

Here's the best way I discovered to open a bottle.We invented it as kids while living on the hard streets of Carmichael, CA. If anybody writes in to tell you otherwise, you can let them know that they're wrong.
You had mentioned your lament that you don't drink beer, well maybe you should give Jarritos a try. They require the same amazing bottle skillz as those wacky beer drinkers.
