Abstract

An openable can end for a beverage can of usual type, having a first tear-out portion which seems to be openable, when a lever-type tab is operated. A second tear-out portion is also provided beside or outside the first portion, wherein the second tear-out portion tears out (or breaks in) instead of the expected first tear-out portion. Thus, it is possible to surprise the user upon opening such a beverage can, without impairing the simple and reliable opening of the beverage can.
