Love it! Brings back many memories, especially the part of opening with your teeth! You forgot about playing caps. Who needs beer pong!

Inspired thinking. I think you are to something big. The bottle openers could be fashioned after the beaver. But one big concern - will chipped teeth be covered by the dental care program?

We'll figure out the dental coverage rules when writing up the detailed policy...

The problem with stubbies is the capping. In a capping machine, the down-force goes through more glass in a long neck. Stubbies have the force going through a much smaller volume of glass with more curve in a shorter distance and they fail more easily (think of the principle of sloped armor on a tank).

Having the odd bottle smashed in the capping process adds up over time. Big beer is big business.

That said, I still have crates of stubbies I use for the beer that I don’t keg (I have half a crate of coffee stout in my garage right now).
