A bic lighter works good too, or anything about the same size and shape.

Yeah, I used to carry an opener before but once you know what you're doing everything is a bottle opener.

And really what you’re doing is peeling the metal back enough to release let air flow into the bottle. Once you get the edge up, the vacuum seal is broken.

Always freaks me out when people use their teeth though.

Agreed, seeing someone open a bottle with their teeth is like nails on a chalkboard for me.
