I can't open my gatorade bottle?!


Question: I can't open my gatorade bottle!?
I live alone and I can't get my bottle of gatorade open! I've tried so hard my hands hurt and are turning red!.

I'm so sick of companies making these lids impossible to open, what should I doWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I have tiny hands, so I know what you're talking about!.

I would run the cap under hot water!. This will help expand the plastic making it easier to open!. It also helps to wash away any residue left from the over from the bottling process making the cap stick to the bottle!.

I would also use the end of my rubber dish washing gloves as a gripping mechanism before trying to open it again!.

Finally, use the force of your entire arm and not just your wrist by placing the bottle on top of a chair instead of the counter to open it!. Utilize leverage and force to your advantage!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

At one point in time I actually cut the little pieces of plastic that go from the lid to the circle thing that stays on the bottle!.
It was a pain in the butt but I got it open none the less!.

:o)

Or go ask a neighbor!. That is the other thing I go and do!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i know what you mean!.!.!.!.i hate to get a 2 liter that the cap seems to be torqued on with an air gun!.!.!.!.!.i would just cut a hole in the upper part of the bottle about an inch from the cap and pour it into a glassWww@FoodAQ@Com

Try hitting the top of the bottle cap with a spoon or some hard object to loosen it up try doing this a few times before opening it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
