Old School
Before the ‘modern day’ pull tab, there existed...the pop top. For those of us old enough to remember, the old pop tops were pulled completely off the top of the can; this design was finally abandoned because the discarded pop-tops littered streets and beaches all over the world.
But for those who remember, the old pop tops were good for making some very funky stuff: hats, dresses, even dog vests.
This photo retrospective is an homage to our funky forefathers and mothers.
