In an Instagram Reel shared by self-professed life hacker Sidney Raz, the creator shared the trick to exposing the "grown-up cap" hiding under the childproof cap in your over-the-counter medicine bottle. It turns out that your Advil and Aspirin bottles come with a regular cap that you can access with a simple trick. Admitting that he didn't find out about this little-known hack until his 30s, Raz shared a video of him pushing up on the child-resistant lid with his thumbs and it easily popping off - exposing a regular screw-off lid underneath.


I never knew this. Did you?
 

In my experience they don't come off anywhere near that easily. Depending on what the item is I often remove the cap and cut slits in using a utility knife.
 

one of mine came off easy. two others had to be pried off with the putty knife. others wouldn't come off at all. had pills everywhere. it's easier to just not screw them so tightly.
 
I put a dinner knife under the RX caps and go around the rim loosening the cap and then push down to open. After that works, I do use other bottles without childproof caps to put them in.
 
Another thing someone can do with the childproof lids is either hammer a tack in or run a screw into it, keeping the 2 parts together which turn it into a regular cap.

I have never found any of the over the counter drugs that I have had to have an easy pop off-- but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
