I hear they're coming out with an even more powerful one that will finally let us find the answer to the age-old question of "what does 1 + 1 actually equal?" It'll probably blow out every power station in the world, but - well, we have no choice. We must move toward solving the immense mystery of strikeless options, and it seems like a logical first step in that direction.

The smartest engineers from caltec are working on it. UBS will pay 10s of millions to anyone who can solve it.
I remember that announcement! It was right next to the one with Bill Gates paying for cancer surgery for a little girl if we just forwarded his email enough times, or collected enough pull tabs from soda cans.
Yeah. The best offer was from the Nigerian prince. That’s how I got my trading stake!
Stop dating yourself. I bet you think most Coca-Cola is still sold in glass bottles. Old man.
(And you know what is scary? There are beaches on Long Island you can go to on the south shore, where if you metal detect, you can still find those darn pull tabs buried in the sand.)
I'd give you the same advice, but since it's sex with somebody you love, I'll refrain.
News for you: it is sold in glass bottles today. And the antiquated reference was intentional; I guess you missed the Jessica Mydek reference (which is about the same vintage.)
Humor uses this thing called "implication". Give that some thought for a bit. And kiss this old man's ass while you're at it.
You know what's even cooler than that? The mountains where I hike in Colorado still have some of those cans lying around, at least on some of the way out trails I hit (I recall taking a pic of one, just for the weirdness factor.) Sucks that people toss their garbage, but interesting that they've been there that long and haven't rusted away yet.
No, you're painting yourself as someone that needs to get out more lol.
Every bar in every college town collects these for Shriners and the Ronald McDonald House.

Ahh hah! I knew you thought I was going to miss that little detail about the Coke bottles. Notice in my comment, I said "most". That implies that "some" are still sold in glass, as compared to years ago, when it was all sold in glass.
So yes, some Coke is still sold in glass, but not most of them. Neener. As for the rest? Mountains.
I hate this song, but had to. Sorry.

Not these:
Yes, those are the ones I am referring to. I did not know the new ones that stay attached to the cans are also called pull tabs, because you do not pull them off the can! Oy!
My bad. Let the spanking of me commence.
I always thought that's a really weird thing to do (the economics just don't work: something like 1500 tabs per pound, ~0.50/lb at recycling centers, and the costs of transporting these things are insane on that scale...) - but I realized quite a while ago that it's far more about what people will do - i.e., the whole collection, etc. rigmarole - vs. what they won't, which is drop even a penny in the collection jar (which would be hundreds of times more effective and less of a hassle.) We humans are a head trip.
