Today's Pearl: Astrid's Complaint

From Astrid:


Ok! One of my complaints is.. opening jars, yogurts containers, oh, even milk/creamer containers - I use a sharp object like a knife to pry it open! But then the milk comes out sideways and spills... some packaging are really difficult to get into.. also, prescription containers - supposedly child prove - difficult when your hands are not very strong!

Thanks for sharing Astrid: I know the feeling...

Have you considered getting a brand with different packaging that's easy to open? I know some yogurts have foil at the top and are pretty easy to get into.  As for the prescription containers. Can you have someone open it for you once, then pour them into another bottle that's easy for you to open and is away from little kids of course :)

A trick that works for me to open jars is to get a heavy metal object, like a butter knife, or wooden spoon and hit the side of the lid. It loosens it up :)  This video is great.
