Not too much thought has gone into making these easy to open for people with arthritic hands. I am constantly having to ask my husband if he can open one of these for me as I find them too hard to open and often break the ring in trying.
Surely manufacturers can come up with something suitable for everyone to use?

Fizzy drinks are not the only things that come in cans. I have used these in the past but no longer do so ...I was referring to soup cans. I doubt whether a lot of people would love to have arthritic hands when trying to open one of these!
