The peripheral flange may at least partially surround the depression. The depression may be adapted to fit into an opening of a soda can created by a pull tab. There may be a gap in the peripheral flange which allows a pull tab to fit over the depression. The cap may include an inner wall which connects the depression to the peripheral flange. A method is provided of pulling a pull tab on a soda can to create an opening in the soda can, and covering the opening with a cap.
