The Clamshell Packaging Nightmare Is Over

How to open clamshell packaging | Yahoo! Green

I just saw this on Yahoo & thought I'd share it with EoFF!

This is surely the most invaluable information I've recieved in quite some time! Thank you.

Now, give me the strength to open jars!

I'm so happy I could poo.

1) Smack the edge of the lid against a hard surface to dislodge the suction;
2) Wrap the lid in some high-friction fabric (rubber, shirt, towel, whatev);
3) Open lid.

If lid does not open, repeat steps 1-3

=O

Yeah, smacking it isn't very smart. You can, however, use a blunt knife in step 1. Pry it in between the lid and the jar until you hear the al too familiar sound of air slipping in.

I don't have a rotary can opener :kaocry2:

I still prefer the "damage my teeth" route.

Arm, Jar, Wall.


Problem solved.

I just use scissors.

Yeah, scissors. It's hell to open those things if there are no scissors around though.

I just punch my way through because I am a badass like that.

I got a booboo on my knuckles. :(

turn the jar upside down then while maintaining a firm grip smack the bottom with the heel of your hand, should work
