Wordrefernce.com says "abrelatas" means can opener as well as "pop top". That answer was posted by a native speaker from Mexico. From the posts on that thread, I am confident that this is what you are looking for. At least, that's apparently how it is said in Mexico!

No...not a cap, the little metal thing you pull up on to open a can. Not a can opener, either. - eblue Nov 4
No, he is talking about that little opener on top of a soda can. - robertico Nov 4

Never had the need to name those things so I wasn't sure about the Spanish name for those little metal 'rings' raspberry, but I looked it up:

"Anillas de lata" or "anillas de lata de refresco, gaseosa, cerveza, etc." if you want to be more specific smile

Now, what do you call them in English?

I think they're called "pop tops". Why "anillas" and not "anillos"? Gracias - mountaingirl Nov 4
Um, I would like to know that myself too, actually. Prior to this I didn't even know those 'pop tops' HAD a name in Spanish :P - InésDelRío Nov 5
If there are bottleing companies in spanish speaking countries they must have a name for it. - robertico Nov 5
