About 4 or 5 years ago, I sliced my middle finger open trying to open a can of Campbells soup. It was one of the new cans with the pop top. I was trying to open it gently to avoid spilling the soup all over the place cuz I'm a clutz. Gently doesn't work with that type of lid, so I pulled a little harder & when the cover came off it jerked to the side & got the side of my middle finger by the nail. The cut was only about a 1/2 inch long, but went in quite far & got an artery. I felt like an ass going to the hospital, but for the life of me couldn't get the bleeding to stop. Now, Campbells actually makes a contraption to open those kinds of lids & yes I do own one.
