Dicky bottle opener - gags discontinued by Pipedream - review by Jul!a

While the 3 1/2" penis shaped handle will fit easily and comfortably into most people's hands, the 2 3/4" attached metal bottle/can opener actually makes it feel just the slightest bit unwieldy. I think that's because while the handle only has a diameter of about 3/4", the bottle opener portion is almost 2" wide. That doesn't sound very big, but in comparison to the grand scheme, it does look it in person.

At just about 6 1/2" long total, this isn't the bottle opener you'll want to keep in your purse or on your keys for hanging out at a friend's place, but it won't take up much room in a drawer and can easily be tethered to wherever you like to keep your bottle openers if you like to leave them out in the open.

The very detailed handle is made of plastic and painted to give it some detail. After bouncing around in my purse for a while so I could show friends, some of the paint is starting to chip and wear away. I was actually surprised the paint lasted that long to be honest. Be warned that the paint will come off and the plastic will scratch fairly easily. So if you're looking for something heavy duty, look elsewhere.

The bottle/can opener end is made of stainless steel. It does have a sharp end, for breaking into cans, that is rather stabby and can cause some serious injuries if you're not careful. This also doesn't seem to be the highest quality stuff ever though, as it also got some scratches in my pure. However the scratches don't appear to be anything more than surface scratches, so I'm not too worried about it.

Now, for how it functions. It does! The length of the handle gives you enough leverage that even the most bottle-opening-challenged of us can use it. And trust me, I suck at this normally. When using my fiance's keychain opener, I always end up handing everything right back to him to have him do it, but with this little guy I had no problems opening every bottle given to me, every single time.

If for whatever reason you need to clean it, wash it by hand (minding the stabby end) in warm water with soap. Make sure it's completely dry before you decide to stick it in a drawer, just in case. Otherwise, keep it wherever you like really.

I'm on a roll with picking out novelty things that aren't total crap. Like, seriously. If you're ok with spending the extra bit of money on these as a gag gift, they are worth it if they get used, since they actually work well.

This comes out when I want laughs while having friends over. It does get a decent amount of use, and hasn't shown any signs of breaking down. I'm still happy with it.
