Drink brand unveils genius gold-plated tooth designed to open bottles
A new survey has revealed some of the strange ways Brits have tried to open a bottle when they didn't have a bottle opener to hand - and some have caused significant damage Some of the strangest ways Brits have tried to open a bottle include using a wooden spoon, a cigarette lighter, or even their own teeth. According to the data, more than half of people have tried to open a bottle with something other than a standard opener. Of those who have attempted to open a bottle with their teeth, 23 per cent ended up with a chipped tooth, although, in 90 per cent of cases, they at least managed to get the bottle open. A fifth say they are likely to use their teeth at some point in the future. The research, which surveyed 2,000 adults, found that 61 per cent of those who have damaged a tooth trying to open a bottle would consider using an 'accessory' such as a diamond to cover it up. Gen Z were far more likely than any other age group to consider this kind of oral upgrade. The research was commissioned by Kopparberg to mark the launch of its custom tooth caps, which double as bottle openers. In partnership with Tuff Tooth the brand is giving away 18 gold-plated caps on its social channels. Rob Salvesen of the cider brand, said: "We know that sometimes you find yourself without a bottle opener but that doesn't mean you have to miss out. "That's why we've created limited-edition custom caps - a clever solution for opening your drink whenever you need it." Other peculiar methods adults have resorted to for opening a bottle include using a key or even a house brick. One in 20 have even tried using a three-pin plug and the handle of a spoon. On average, Brits who enjoy bottled drinks estimate that they have to open one without a traditional opener 25 per cent of the time. Two thirds said they had to do this because they could not find a bottle opener. Meanwhile, 17 per cent use their unconventional opening method as a 'party trick' and use it to show off. TOP 10 THINGS PEOPLE HAVE USED TO OPEN A BOTTLE - WITHOUT A BOTTLE OPENER: The edge of a countertop or table A key Your teeth Piece of cutlery Brick or wall Another bottle A screwdriver A ring on your finger Cigarette lighter Wooden spoon
