A practical £4 Amazon product that keeps bees and insects away from beverages has been described as 'brilliant' by shoppers during the UK heatwave. The Abeillo Manual Easy Can Opener, a plastic device that attaches to drink cans, also serves as a lid to cover the opening, preventing bugs from entering.
How the Product Works
The device clips onto the ring pull of a can, allowing it to be opened without using fingers or nails. A slide switch then lets users close the lid after opening. The product costs £3.99 for a pack of six on Amazon.
Social Media Praise
Users on X (formerly Twitter) have praised the opener. Larry Conger posted: 'Keep the bugs, the sand, the bees out of your drinks. This is a brilliant idea for stopping people from spiking drinks.' Another user called it a 'major lifestyle upgrade,' while a third said: 'Keeps the bees out. Ever drink a soda with a bee in it? Not fun.'
Heatwave Context
The UK is experiencing an extreme heatwave, with the Met Office issuing red and amber warnings for parts of England and Wales. Temperatures are expected to break June records, with high humidity making conditions more severe. Met Office chief forecaster Matthew Lehnert said: 'This is exceptional heat for June... Red warnings are reserved for the most severe events.'
