The same company now has flip-flops with a mini flask built into the sole.
I don't think opening a bottle with the sole of my shoe, which has tread in bathrooms and who-knows-what-else, is a very good idea. Besides, learning how to pop a top with common objects isn't all that difficult. I frequently use a can of snuff to pop tops.

With twist-off tops, these sandals would seem to be unnecessary.
The best beer in Michigan, Bells, doesn't have twist-off tops though!
I saw a hat today with a bottle opener built into the bill. It seems a bit more sanitary than the sandal and it was a Miller Lite hat. Great marketing!
Bell's is the best beer that I've ever had. I used to get the pale ale, stout, and Third Coast when I lived in Cincy, but it hasn't made it to Florida yet. Damned good beer. Great artwork on the labels, too.

Well, I believe this requires a little field work.
Will let you know my findings.
