So I posted this on another post but figured I'd put it here just in case anyone may be interested in a fast easy way to remove these caps I've been doing it this way for 2 years and have never broken a bottle and this way you don't have to dig the top out..Lemme know if anyone else does it this way, I already had them so I used them..Side note Channel Locks (pliers) didn't work as good
​
Sorry For the jittery hand I did it one handed to hold the phone

What usually work for me is to just squeeze the juice out normally. Top comes right off.
I just use a guitar pick and lift it slightly from four points along its circumference. If you only pry from one point until it pops off it takes far more strength and damages the rim. You can loosen the whole thing surprisingly easy if you just simply work your way around to release the pressure from prior prying until it pops off.
Dull pocketknife for me. One with a blade skinny enough to get in the gap but dull enough not to nick everything up (I've wrecked a couple caps in the past). Will have to give this other method a try some time. Nice to know I'm not the only cheapskate who reuses Gorilla bottles. They're pretty tough :)
There’s a method already built into the childproof caps, on the 60mls I get at least.
There’s a little lip on the caps. First take the cap and put it between your index & middle finger with the nipple pointing out in line with the first joints on your fingers from your knuckles & make a claw / fist. Then put the bottle into the thumb web with the rim of the cap against the lower lip of the spout cap. Tighten up your grip a bit then rotate the bottle & put a bit of downward pressure on the bottle.
This is my method. I pop them off right into my kitchen sink. No blades involved, as others have suggested. I can't imagine using a knife or razor when my hands have PG/VG on them.
Even without juice on my hands I’m all thumbs. The index finger on my left hand saw some wars when I was growing up, back in those days a plaster / deep cut wasn’t an issue as everything was pretty much still pen & paper. These days I find a plaster annoying when I’m trying to type. A few years ago I managed to get a fairly deep cut going down the tip of a finger on my right hand, bloody thing would split open when I used a mouse or typed with it.
Hey whatever works right...this is like a no work method that works every time just close the vice grips and boom pops off and done
Cutthroat razor was always damn quick IME
That's cool this works best for me lol
You can’t just pull it off with your fingertips to avoid fucking the soft plastic threads up and having the top fly across the room?
God damnit! Been DIYing for over a year now and this flavor is the only one that i miss badly and cant replicate close at all.
Any diy tips? Lol
I wish dude i love it too...the most recent I've tried wasn't close but was the best Cannoli I've tried it's
​
And I have a recipe I was working on that isn't exactly close but I feel like is closer than some of the others..same smell so I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track..It's here if ya wanna try it out

Wow looks good. I have all but Canolli Shell. I buy from BCF and didn't know this flavor existed. Thanks alot man. I'll probably mix for now using my FA Zeppola in place, it's a real good powdered sugar flavor i use in my semi-popular fried dough OG mix
Take a knife or even a flat head screwdriver and stick it in the gap between the lid and bottle and twist. It’s not going to mess up the bottle like vice grips and it’s way easier
I'm guessing you didn't watch the video? Where I show me doing it one handed with zero strength and effort without messing up the bottle
I usually put the bottle laying on its side on floor put a pillow in front of it and stomp as hard as I can right in the center of the bottle. It works every time and the pillow stops the top from being ruined during the flight! You guys should try it out once let me know what you think. Side note make sure you use the heel of your foot to get maximum effect.
I did see the video, just didn’t think vice grips were the best idea, tho they certainly do work. I use a butter knife, just lil flip of the wrist and it’s off, with zero damage to the bottle. There’s always a few ways to do things. All that matters is if it works for you, which it does.
People reuse plastic bottles?
