Damn, 80s Japan sure was the best.
OMg 3:53 lol
Based on my limited Japanese...
アワ (泡) which means foam
クリップ which means clip
So Foam Clip.

Probably wouldn't be allowed today if they were plastic and fucked with the recycling processes.
Not sure knocking all the carbonation out of your larger is a good thing anyway.

It just says "Suntory Draft Beer Foam (Awa) Can". If you search for "アワcan", you can get some similar images, but they all seem about as dated as that commercial. Using the Kanji, you get something like the attached pic.

Reminds me of the co2 ball they put in Guinness tall boys to made them have extra creamy heads (das rite).

The first time I had one of these I was confused at what was rattling around in the empty can
Also I opened it slowly and completely ruined the nitrogen bubble effect because it only mentions the the feature on the back of the can
Post this shit somewhere else besides the food & cooking board

It is called a widget. Now you know what all those hypothetical factories in economics textbooks were producing.
