THE POP TOP CAN CAME BEFORE THE TWIST OFF BOTTLE CAP. hOW MANY YEARS APART?!
Answers: I AM ATTEMPTING TO DETERMINE HOW MANY YEARS THE POP TOP CAN HAD BEEN AROUND BEFORE THE TWIST-OFF BOTTLE CAPS WERE MARKETED. cAN ANY OF YOU OLD-TIMERS TELLME THE ANSWER?
I'm not 100% on the exact year, but twist-off caps were invented in the early 1960's... again, I'm not sure exactly what year.
The aluminum beer can was invented by Coors in 1958.
A new and improved pop-top can was revealed in 1963.
I would venture to say the two came out roughly the same year.
Hope this helped...
I think around the late 60's it started being "twist top". I remember my old man saying when he was a kid it was all pop top stuff. He was born in 55 so yeah. Hope that helps.
more interesting question would be: Which do you prefer!??
I hate poptabs. they break us ladies nails we spend a fortune on! :)
