Abstract: A container opener comprises an elongated plastic body having a hollow internal chamber, open at one end, such that a disposable cigarette lighter may be snugly inserted into the chamber. The opener has a recessed opening at the opposite end with its inner wall having a slot of a size and shape to receive the tab of a tab-top beverage container so that the container may be opened by upwardly pivoting the opener relative to the container. The recessed opening at the end of the container opener also provides a crown cap removing mechanism for removing a crown cap on a beverage bottle.
