A pull tab opener for a container having a push-in or fully severable closure is articulated at a crease line behind the rivet connecting the tab to the container top surface. At least a pair of protrusions extends upwardly from the base of the tab so that, when the rear lever portion is pivoted about the crease line, the opposed front faces of the protrusions contact each other, and the elastic memory of the tab is overcome so that the tab is articulated into a bent condition. The tab may then be re-grasped for easy opening of the container, without having to initiate opening leverage of the tab using the fingernail.
