The beer can "widget" was invented in 1990

It was the subject of debate at the poker table the other day and today's Metro has been kind enough to draw a line under the matter.

Other beer receptical related dates include:

  • The Ring Pull (1963)
  • Aluminium replacing Tin (1950s)
  • First canned beer in britain (1936)

I think it was around 1995 that the patent was filed. gigawidget.com/guinness.index.html has got a write up on it.

It was guiness who patented it, but it was my partner's uncle who actually invented it for them, but never got the credit.
