I have no use for one. Haven't opened a bottle in a few years now. And maybe have done so at most 30 times throughout my life. (Don't drink soda and rarely drink alcohol.)

Not true in the Netherlands, which is why the average dutch person can open a bottle of beer with various objects, such as a lighter, keys, anything small and stiff, tabletop or teeth.
