Memories of this most handy kitchen gadget include:
- Mom opening a stubborn jar of pickles
- Dad popping the cap off a bottle of Schlitz
- Me using the smaller end to pry open a tin of Nestle’s Quick
- The satisfying phuup of the vacuum seal breaking
It was the first thing I took when I knew Mom was never going back home.
