"Bill you are dating yourself."
Ho yeah, bill? Well, takes one to know one, nayh, nayh, nayh!
For the younger of you, a proper Church Key is a piece of metal about 4
inches long. One end is for old fashioned cans, and has a sharp point, with
a little hook that goes under the rim of the can. One punches two holes in
the can opposite each other, and enjoys a cool, frosty can of a fine brew,
once called "A Loaf of Bread in a Glass."
The other end is similar, but the end is squared off. It is used to remove
what are properly called in America, Crown Caps. The big flat part goes on
top of the cap, and the little hook under the edge, and with a flick of the
wrist, thirst-quenching is here! This end is still important, as most of the
finer brands of this delightful beverage are not equipped with screw-off
caps.
It is indeed unfortunate that these handy devices are not given away freely,
as they once were by the breweries, as they are as important to the film
processor as they are to those who enjoy a finer brew.
