uh, back in the good old days we used to do that same
HOWEVER- the important thing to remember is that back
Even early "larger" format bottles were stronger than
Using this opening method on "today's" thinner bottles

used primarily on "stubby" Cdn beer bottles, (only
Canadians of a certain age will remember) and of
course on the occassional pepsi/coke/etc bottles..
in WWII Coke came in the smaller 8oz? bottles, and
they were much stronger structurally than the new
bottles.
today. The glass thickness, (if not quality as well)
was much greater than now.
(especially beer bottles which are very weak) is much
riskier (right ian??) than in the good old days.

bring back the stubby!!!
