MixologistYou can actually open a beer bottle with just a dollar bill! It's a fun party trick. First, fold the bill into a long, skinny strip. Then, wrap it around the neck of the bottle, with the tip pointing towards the cap. Grab the bill tightly between your thumb and index finger, and give it a good twist. The pressure should pop the cap right off.
