This is how you bought oil and what you used to transfer it from the can to the car.

Considering how well those spouts worked, I'm surprised they didn't show up in other products.

There was definitely a feeling of satisfaction as you pierced the can and you didn't need a funnel to get all the oil to go where you wanted it.

I asked a 20yr old to burn a CD with some software updates on it, and he looked at me with a blank stare and stated he doesn't know how to burn a CD because he has never had to use that old technology...

I remember a similar spout being used for paper milk/juice cartons back in the 1970's.



There was also a spout for tapping oranges and similar citrus fruits, which let you squeeze the juice out of them.....
