    Stab it numerous times with a short sharp knife.

    Or tie a bag around one end of the can, jump on the other end, and reap the rewards from your efforts.

    I've never had a tin opener, but if you have a sharp knife you could cut the top of the tin off, just under the lid

    Try fireworks. If this fails, consider using a larger quantity of fireworks.

    You're probably best off using your legs and walking down the shop to buy a new one.
    I know, the scar on my hand proves it :(

    Stick it in a pot full of water and keep it at the boil for about 10 minutes.

    Guaranteed to open it*.





    *With hilarious consequences.

    No, it's not that the tin opener is stuck, it won't grip the tin.

    Can't get any traction.

    well if the WD40 doesnt work, try some masting tape

    i dont know how or why but they are the only two things you need in life

    or else - here is a radical one, put your coat on, walk to the front door, open it and go out to the shop

    Throw the tin in the fire... It will cook the contents and open the tin for you.
