Look! We've been referenced in Wikipedia on the "Beverage Can" page in the "Stay-on-tab" section (#15): Stay-on-tabThe stay-on-tab was designed by Daniel F. Cudzik for a Reynolds Metals Co. aluminium can.[13] This design reduced injuries and reduced roadside litter caused by removable tabs. The mechanism uses a separate tab attached to the upper surface as a lever to depress a scored part of the lid, which folds underneath the top of the can and out of the way of the resulting opening.[14] Beverages like Pepsi began using this new type of tab in the United States by 1977.[15] Such "retained ring-pull" cans supplanted pull-off tabs in the United Kingdom in 1989 for soft drinks and 1990 for alcohol.[16] One of the more recent modifications to can design was Mountain Dew's introduction of the "wide mouth" can in the late 1990s.[citation needed]en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beverage_can#cite_note-14
