A method of opening beverage bottles on an airplane, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a handheld bottle opener for flight attendants comprising:
• a crosspiece;
• a first leg being attached to and extending from said crosspiece, said first leg including a free end distal to said crosspiece, said first leg including an outer surface being smooth and a toothed inner surface, said first leg being configured to project outwardly beyond said crosspiece in a convex manner, said first leg being resiliently flexible;
• and
• a second leg being attached to and extending from said crosspiece, said second leg being positioned in alignment with and a distance from said first leg to define a receiving space for bottle tops of beverage bottles, said second leg including a free end distal to said crosspiece, said second leg including an outer surface being smooth and a toothed inner surface, said second leg being configured to project outwardly beyond said crosspiece in a convex manner such that said first leg, said second leg, and said crosspiece together define a C-shaped profile, said second leg being resiliently flexible such that said first leg and said second leg are manually compressible toward one another to grip bottle tops of different diameters with said toothed inner surfaces;
• placing a bottle top of a beverage bottle in said receiving space between said toothed inner surfaces;
• holding said first leg and said second leg between a thumb and at least one finger;
• squeezing said first leg and said second leg together and gripping the bottle top with said toothed inner surfaces;
• and
• removing the bottle top.
