BAD NEWS this morning- no pineapples for my daughter for breakfast

[underpants]

We have one of those "top end" can openers-it takes off the top so there is no jagged edge
and my wife hasn't shown me how to work it

I tried to figure it out yesterday (on both sides of the can) no luck :grr:

This is no surprise, it took me two weeks to figure out how my sunglasses worked
Running/biking shades with vents at the top for body heat (highly recommended) and I could figure out how to change out the lenses
turns out the instructions were in the carrying case
:shrug:

1. I have one of those... and no I haven't figures it out either.

I just grab the manual one out of the drawer. (I feel like a freaking luddite)

2. Just attach it to the top of the can

and push the button. It will start on its own. When it stops, remove it.

4. Now this isn't one of those Gizmo thingies

we have one of those somewhere in the house-never hooked it up

this is a hand crank dealie but I can't figure out how to make it do the actual can OPENING :shrug:

6. Cant help you then

never saw the crank type.

3. Get the Dole pineapple chunks in the plastic jar with the lid

It has the same peel-off plastic seal that the snack cups use and keeps them sealed up with a screw on lid. Bonus: no can opener problems!

5. says the man on the deserted island

Damn I KNEW I should have grabbed that pack of matches at the airport bar

:grr:

[HopeHoops]

7. Reminds me of a quote - "Guess I picked the wrong week to quit smoking."

[HopeHoops]

8. WAIT!! Do you have a demolition saw?

[Whoa_Nelly]

9. Here are the instructions

Hopefully :hi:

11. Heh, I was taking care of 9 pets for a family

and they had a can opener like that for the dog and cat food. It didn't seem to have a way to clamp on to the can. I had to look up instructions on the internet, too, and I'm usually pretty good at figuring out how things work. :blush:
