(photo from the Library of Virginia)When we were young there use to be these things called Aluminum cans that were produced so beer and other soda makers could easily distribute their elixirs to consumers. A top these cans sat a device called a "stay-on tab" that was used to open said aluminum can for consumption. This tab, designed by Dan Cudzik and introduced by the Falls City Brewing Company in 1975, has had a good life. It did it purpose, which was to open aluminum cans without cutting the hell out of your mouth. Now sometimes teenagers would remove the "stay-on tab", tie a sting to it, and wear it around their neck; which was fine. Many people even still do this practice, which is fine.
What is not fine is this...
...A 14k Gold can tab by 'designers' Alex and Chloe. Come on, it's a tab from a can. Why? You know there are other things that need to be designed out there. Such as: more logical clothing, jewlery that reminds you when your anniversary is, and energy efficient cars. Why take something that's out there, make it/dip it in gold, and call it a new designed piece? You want consumers to pay $410? Just ask some kid to paint a pull tab with gold paint and wear that. Who is gonna know? No one is gonna be like, "your tab from a 'coke' can totally looks fake!". People that wear something like this have to much money and think that dipping anything in gold makes it better. This is dipped in gold...
but it's not better. It's still a VW Bug from the 80's.Continue Transmission
