    For those on Orchid too young to remember the dark ages before
    pop-top cans and for those outside the U.S.: A church key is American
    slang for the old-fashioned beer can opener which hooked over the
    edge of the can and punched out a triangular hole in the top. 

    They are ALSO good for mold cutting, if you can still find one. A
    steel shoe horn, if flattened and screwed to benchtop, also works.
