My challenge would be to remove the entire metallic seal in a new tin of milo in one go with your spoon.

I would always fail this challenge.

What?

Push in around the edge and then cut along the entire tin, pull out entire piece and you have a clear cut tin.

[BanShunsaku]

Fuck that, I'm stabbing that baby with a spoon first chance I get!

 

[Gazunta]

You guys are God damn voodoo artists. The foil always ends up breaking or there's a corner piece that tears away.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Sure. How many swear words am I allowed?

As long as you don't utter the words "that is one big pile of shit".

Dammit, now I feel like Milo, fuck you all.

It's a god damn viral marketing conspiracy I tells yah!

Bern's creative use of the word 'cuntflaps' cannot be beat!

I look forward to Bern's JP BD livetweet extravaganza.

You need to pretend your teaspoon is a can opener.

The first stab at the foil is the most important as you don't want to leave too large a puncture. Once you've got the handle of the teaspoon in there, gently leverage it upwards against the foil and it should start to tear. Keep using the teaspoon handle until you've done about half the circle and then it should flap enough to allow sufficient purchase with your fingers. From here, you can tear it off by hand and you'll get a cleaner tear than you will from using the spoon.

I don't expect you to get it straight away, but with time, patience and a bit of luck, we should have you opening those Milo tins gracefully like a motherfucker.

That Lindsay Lohan thread was nothing if not vocabulary building

 

[Gazunta]

Wait wait WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE

The HANDLE?

I've been using the curved spoon bit all along!

 

[Kerrby]

Thanks for making me late today Queen you bitch.

 

[evlcookie]

You don't use the handle to cut the foil.

Crazy

Just re-read what I wrote, and I apologise for the confusion.

Use the 'spoon' edge of the teaspoon to make the first puncture as it should follow the curvature of the outer rim of the tin. After that, flip over to the handle, slide it in gently and use that as leverage.

Hopefully the clarification helps.

 

[evlcookie]

I never go handle to foil, it's always spoon to foil.

The spoon is curved which keeps it flushed against the curved tin, the back of the spoon that is.

I think we need demonstrative YouTube comparison videos.

 

[Bernbaum]

We just opened a new tin of Milo, so it'll be a while before I can test this out, but I'm willing to photograph my efforts whenever we next get a tin.

 

[Deeku]

When I used to drink milo, I just poked a hole in the tin foil and poured the milo out. None of this "getting the tin foil out perfectly" nonsense.

 

[Fredescu]

I think we need demonstrative YouTube comparison videos.

Hell yes. I've always been an impatient bust-it-open and tear-off-the debris guy.

 

[jambo]

I use the handle and it works just fine.

Much smaller than the head so it's almost flush.

 

[evlcookie]

I think I'm ages away from opening a new tin. Will have to try record it.

I look forward to fucking it up!

 

[Frawdder]

I've always used the handle.


Fake Edit: Wait, do I? It's all second nature now that I'm having a hard time thinking how I do it.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

I don't even drink milo

 

[midonnay]

I wonder why they use tin foil?

surely a stupid kid has used his hand to open it and bled out >_>

 

[Salazar]

A Pica Syndrome kid my mum taught used to eat tins straight.

But then, he ate anything.

Fucking University can't get me a 'certified expectation to graduate' letter? What the shit? Hope it was just a clueless university admin person, or that a letter from faculty confirming an expectation to graduate should suffice.

I goddamn hate bureaucracy.

I'm still organising my second reference letter. I met Mio today to grab hers, I forgot that her office is basically a mini-library.

New console launch + 2 fading consoles (DS series and Wii) + No killers apps for 3DS + No holiday sales + fucked up exchange rate (has been for a number of years now)

Nintendo still has a substantial war chest, but this will scare all of gaf's armchair investors.

 

[Salazar]

Afraid I'm still finding HSOTD fanservice funny.

 

[Deeku]

Strength of yen does play a part too. Most companies are reporting losses so it's not really that surprising.

Probably a weird question, but is she hot? :lol

Volkswagen is about to overtake Toyota as the biggest car manufacturer too, so it's not just video games.

True and all valid points (especially the 3DS thing) but I don't think many people saw Nintendo lose that much :O.
