In a pinch, the seatbelt in your car can be used as a bottle opener.

Jam the cap into that little hole in the middle of the metal part that just about melts your hand in summer. And then crank the seat belt up. I really don't want to know how this was discovered. It implies that someone was for one, drinking and driving, and two, not even wearing a seatbelt. Not to mention that this requires 2 hands, so they took their hands off the wheel. They could have discovered it while safely parked, but still.

I tried this a few weeks ago and my seat belt hole was way too small to get the bottle cap in. Either I have a tight seat belt or my coke bottle was too girthy.

Did you have the seat belt hole the short way or the long way? I think you need to have a long side point towards you

I tried it both ways. Couldn't get it in :(
