Cans were opened with a hammer and chisel before the advent of can openers. The tin cannister, or can, was invented in 1810 by a Londoner, Peter Durand.
I think the first food packaged in a sealed metal can was from the 1820s or 1830s.
The "can opener" was not invented until more than 10 years later. For those first ten years or so, people were expected to cut into the can with a knife or some other tool they already owned.

Where can you sell aluminum can tabs and get money for the tabs so people can make needles out of them?
That's an urban legend. And needles are made of mild steel, not aluminum.If you want any money for the can tabs, you can find a local recycler to pay you for the scrap aluminum.No organization will pay out cash, goods, or services for pull tabs from aluminum cans. Some will accept donations of pull tabs but their marginal value is only for scrap aluminum.Anyone gathering pull tabs for charity and cash would do far better to collect whole cans; accumulating nothing but pull tabs is like eschewing quarters in order to collect pennies.The next time someone asks you to donate pull tabs for a good cause, donate a few facts instead.That is a good idea, but you could also put them on Ebay. The value of regular soda or beer pull tabs are worth between 1 and 2 cents each, but the colored tabs on Red Bull or Monster energy drink pull tabs are worth between 5 and 8 cents each.
