An old-fashioned pop can tab. Now, where did THIS come from?!

I spotted this old-fashioned aluminum can tab when we were in Gatlinburg a few weeks ago. It was just lying there in the gravel, amongst the fallen leaves, stones, and dirt.

I can’t imagine someone having a REALLY old can of soda or beer on hand these days…

Does anyone know if Budweiser’s retro cans might be the answer? I know they were going to some throw-back style of cans and bottles, but didn’t realize they’d be going back to the old-fashioned can tabs as well.

Anyone?

Now, just for fun… listen to Bud Light’s Real Men of Genius ”Mr. Blue Aluminum Bottle Maker”:
