Not sure if serious, but they’re pretty easy to find lying around in the dirt near railways.
(I once found what appears to be a fist-sized chunk of rail lying by the track. I would love to know how the hell that happened.)
If you really want to impress people, grip the neck firmly in one hand, hook the cap over the edge of a picnic table, and whack the top firmly with the edge of your other hand. (Any sturdy, square-edged surface will do–I’ve made it work with a brick in a brick wall before.)

yeah, pretty much anything can be used as a bottle opener, right?
as long as you aren’t one of those guys that opens them with their teeth, that gives me the f’n chills up and down my spine and is a recipe for emergency dental work.

I know that method - in the UK most street signs (freestanding ones anyway) have a sort of rim about half an inch deep around the street name. It’s perfect for this purpose. In Germany people take great pride in the multiplicity of instruments which they can use to remove bottle tops; the classic is a lighter, but some geniuses can open a beer bottle with another unopened beer bottle. My friend uses his teeth. When I’m camping I use the spine of my bushcraft knife which is all very well until the time that I slip and lose my thumb and index finger.

That having manufacturers out there who are able and willing to crank out even small series of titanium tchotchkes is a major asset.
I know a guy who does it with his eye socket. I didn’t believe it could be done that way IRL till hep popped the cap off of a beer in front of me that way.
I still think there’s sleight of hand involved.
