The pull tab was invented in 1962 after Ermal Fraze, who came up with the idea, struggled to open a can of beer while on a picnic because he forgot his can opener.
The first beverage can with a pull ring tab was introduced on the market in 1963. Being completely removable, the original pull tabs often ended up as litter, which led to the development of stay-on tabs in the late 1970s, which remain attached to the can after opening, reducing waste.
Pull ring tabs also made appearances in popular culture, including being used as a form of currency in some communities during the 1970s and 1980s. They were also collected and used to create jewelry and other crafts.
Modern pull ring tabs are made of high-grade aluminum, which is 100% recyclable. Collecting tabs for recycling is a popular way to raise funds for charities. Some people collect pull tabs from different brands and eras. They have become unique collectibles, with certain vintage tabs being more valuable to enthusiasts.
There’s a myth that pulling off thousands of tabs and donating them can help cover medical expenses for patients. While the tabs do have some value due to their aluminum content, the amount needed to significantly impact medical costs is quite large.
These fun facts highlight the innovation, cultural impact, and environmental considerations of the simple yet revolutionary pull ring tabs.
