Now, when you tell your friends and the ladies that you have a Porsche they’re probably going to think something like this, “Joe has a Porsche? A real Porsche? He really has it together, that Joe Blow.  You know, he has been looking a little more attractive to me lately.”

When they find out that it’s just a Porsche can opener, they might think something like this, “Porsche makes a can opener?  What the heck?  Why don’t they just leave that to OXO kitchen tools?  Still a can opener can be kinda sexy, and a Porsche can opener might even be sexier.  The jury is still out on this Joe fella.”

Luxist has a post today for the very real and very sexy Porsche can opener, just the thing to impress your friends and the ladies.

“Designed by F.A. Porsche, the man behind the famous lines of the Porsche 911 and the Porsche Design Group, this sleek looking kitchen gadget is one with fashion and function. A small lever on the side of the can opener handles unlocks the device and a simple twist allows the sharp steel blade to cut through any can. A magnet in the opener holds the lid in place until if can be removed. If you’re looking to turn your kitchen into a tribute to your car, a matching corkscrew, bottle opener and other accessories are available. The can opener retails for $49.99.” 

It’s a fascinating consumer world we live in.  I suppose next we’re going to see a Crock Pot Mercedes?
