The Stopper Sticks
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have a little problem which I hope you can help me with. I have a lolly. jar-the type with a glass stopper for a lid, and somehow the stopper has got stuck, and I can’t remove it. I wonder if | you could tell me how to remedy this? I have a little dairy, and of course, these days we can’t buy these jars. I wondered if you could put the reply in The Listener, as I am busy in the shon in the
mornings.

First of all, warm a little olive, or other thin oil. Put this round the neck of the bottle, and it should penetrate and loosén the stopper. Then tap it very gently all round, to help Ioosen it. Or if that is not successful, hold the neck of the jar under the warm tapnot too hot at first, as it may crack the jar. This should expand the neck of the bottle, and so make it easy to remove the stopper. |
