Spaghetti-Os in Korea

i hate korean appliances. all of them.

One of the best things I brought from home was Spaghetti-os. If you were ever a child or college student, or one of those in an adult's body, you will appreciate this seeing as how they don't have them in Korea.

However, finding a can opener to open the considerably bigger can, with no pull tab, proved to be more difficult than I had thought.

And so I tried to open it.
I managed to cut a small line. I don't know how, but I did. After that, the can opener was useless.

So I broke out the butter knife, ginsu knife, scissors, and even wine bottle opener. Here's a hint: the butter knife works the best.
I eventually pried open a hole where I was able to scoop/dump out the spaghetti-os into the saucepan. After about 20 minutes of battle.

And here's what that looked like, in case anyone is interested:

And all of my weapons:

I tell you what though. They were the best spaghetti-os I've ever had.

That is hilarious, Lyndsey. I once did the same thing with the mini-raviolis! Remember them. I cut my bleeding finger all to shit too!
Be careful that the sharp tin doesn't do a number on you.
Where the hell did you get them? Did you bring them back from the US?
Also on that list of university food, should be kraft macaroni and cheese!.... hehe.
