Two Tab Beer Can   (+4, -1)  [vote for, against]
Just what it says

Beer cans with a second pull tab, on the bottom, for when one wants the contents to come out faster.

Might bump up sales on college campuses...

You could just turn the can upside down before opening

Yes, but without a second airhole the contents would not come out much faster.

Two thoughts: why not make the pull ring remove the entire lid (like a can of soup), then you can drink from the whole can instead of via that tiny hole?

Thought number two is a reminder to look at my own much earlier idea of a rapid emptying bath tub, which has two plug holes. [link]

Well I'll be, look at all those linkys (linkies?). And why didn't my Google find them when yours did?

Sort of like the supposed existence of a single god but where every believer seems to have one that operates a bit differently.

Evidence of absence is not absence of evidence

Two tabs on top would have the same effect, but without having to up-end it. Too practical?

It'd be pretty hard for a beer maker to claim they didn't know these would be used by frat boys to give themselves alcohol poisoning with unprecedented efficiency and convenience. I can't imagine any valid need to rapidly pour out beer except for shotgunning it.

Well... yeah.
