Description

This 5" magnetic bottle opener is an exact replica of the magnetic bottle openers used in 874 AD by the Vikings who originally settled Iceland. The prevailing archeological theory is that, particularly the Danes, preferred magnetic openers to traditional "church-keys" because many of their longships came equipped with mini-fridges. 9th century Norse shipwrights commonly built in kegerators instead of the Danish mini-fridge, so more northern dig-sites less commonly see magnetic bottle openers, and more commonly unearth red solo cups.
