    When I first turned 21 I started one of the 5 gallon water jugs as a beer cap collection. Over the many parties I threw at my house, I made sure all my friends got most of them in there. I even went so far at the beginning to bringing them home if I were camping or had a couple at a friends house. I'm 29 now and just recently hit the neck of the jug. 720 lbs is a lifetime supply many times over. Lol.

    My plan is to eventually sort them out and make some sort of bar top with the resin coating stuff or a cool wall hanging one day.

    Ive seen it done and look very cool. I have a friend who worked at a bar and brought me home all the caps. Unfortunately, I ****ed up the pour and ruined it. The caps will float if not stuck down by something.

    I know the answer as should others up in the years.

    I just want you to know I just spent an hour googling your blue tip bottle opener. My son also. I saw openers with blue, red, green and yellow tips. The one common thing I noticed was all of them had adverts for different businesses. They all looked like they were made be the same company. This is what I came up with.
    1. There is a flashlight inside?
    2. An ink pen inside?
    3. An anal probe????
    I don't know but my head is hurting. Thanks, awaiting your answer.......
