Tip For When Those Half Gallons Won't Open

[Ruthanne]

Onc you get the pill bottle open , flip it upside down and screw it on normally. No more child proof!

They look similar to the ones I get now. Pretty easy to use.

I like to stab those seals with a sharp object-
Take that!!

Oh, girl, be careful doing that! My daughter learned that the hard way. Stabbed something with a sharp knife and had to have 5 hours of microsurgery to repair severed tendon, nerves, etc. and now has an index finger that won't straighten or bend normally.

Oh dear, poor gal! Thanks for the warning.

Really, that's one of the major causes for visits to the ER for severe cuts.....stabbing plastic containers with sharp knives. Knife bounces or skitters off the plastic and always manages to find flesh to bury itself in.

A bit off topic. Someone mentioned a method to open a pill bottle that you have to squeeze as you twist. What was the secret? Swearing at it hasn’t helped in the least.

I HATE those! And toilet bowl cleaner lids are the same. Once I get off I don't tighten all the way back, just enough to keep from spilling. I used to have my husband take them off before he died. Now it's me and the channel locks LOL.
