I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it.
I had a similar unbelievable bottle opening experience in real life.
A few years ago we were in Ibiza, the Spanish party island in the Mediterranean. We had left a club at around 6am and bought some beers at a store, then sat outside in the town square to drink them. It was only then that I realised that we didn't have a bottle opener. As I was about to try to knock the cap off mine on the kerb a guy nearby said to me "Give it to my mate, he'll get it off with his teeth."
I assumed he was just drunk so I just replied "Thanks but I'll be alright."
So he says "I'm not joking, give it to him and he'll show you."
He was quite insistant and I could see I wasn't going to get out of this one, so I gave in and handed him the bottle, and sure enough he put it in the side of his mouth, gripped the cap with his teeth, yanked the bottle downwards and popped the cap off at the first attempt. Within a minute he'd opened all four beers. It made me shudder to watch him do it but his teeth seemed none the worse for being used for this little party piece. To thank the guys I went back in the store and bought a couple fo beers each for them.
