The flip-flop opener on a soda can is a first-class lever. In this arrangement, the fulcrum is located between the effort (the user's finger pressing down on the tab) and the load (the resistance of the can's seal). When the user applies force to the tab, it pivots around the fulcrum, allowing the tab to lift and break the seal.

A simple diagram would depict the can with the tab positioned above the can, showing the fulcrum at the base of the tab, the effort applied at the top of the tab, and the load represented as the seal on the can.
