Thank you! Hot water did the trick! With rubber padded oven mit for grip
im a hella skinny 13 year old ive been trying to open my watwer bottle for 20 mins 💀
Thanks a lot the ruberband trick helped me 🤠
Thank u I just got home feom work and went to open my Starbucks Frappuccino and it wouldn't open 😅 litterally my hands hurt so bad but the hitting with a spoon trick worked! Thx!<3
Thank you soo much. The plastic over the container worked in the end.
Thankyou for this. The hitting trick worked!!!
Finally. I struggled for 20 minutes to open a stupid salsa jar for my nachos and I used the rubber band trick and it finally opened.
🙌🏾 thank youu
These unfortunately didn’t work for me.
for the plastic foil, insert it a bit under the lid and tap it. Instantly worked for me
Wow!!! thank you I almost broke my wrist trying to open these hearts of palm!!!! I had to hit the top and use a rubber glove combo method!!! SAVED ME about to abandon my vegan crab cakes!
I tried about 8 times to open a jar of beets, to no avail. I tried the rubber glove, elastic, whacking the lid, turning it upside down and whacking the bottom…none worked. I took a fork and stuck it under the edge of the lid, where there are little indents, and the lid popped and the seal broke and I was able to open it right after!
Use a table spoon to pry the lid and release the seal.
Had a can of peaches from Costco with a tricky lid – hot water trick worked!
1:23 we do this
Thank you, great suggestions great video. It worked!
im still pissed off with this freaking jar. edit: i used a screwdriver and banged it against the cap, it worked.
