This stupid plastic lemon.
All I wanted was to put some lemon juice in my tuna. That's it! My mom said I should buy this because it's small and my refrigerator is tiny. So I did. Except that was before I knew that the makers of this lemon apparently have no other source of fun in their lives and therefore had to make it ridiculously hard to open.
I know you can't see it, but the top pops on. One would think that would be all that is necessary. Nope. I didn't know how to get the juice out. I tried unscrewing it. Nope. I tried pulling on it. Nope. I tried poking it with a pen. I got so irritated I texted Mom and she couldn't help me. She suggested trying to poke the hole with scissors.
Finally, I remembered that I had a second one, and it still had the tag on it, which had directions. "Pop on lid. Poke through hole with pin." Of course.
Frustrated, I tried poking the pen through that one and it worked!
Hallelujah. Because it really wouldn't have been good for my confidence if I'd gotten beaten by a plastic lemon.
I just went through the same thing! I googled 'opening lime juice' and if not for your blog I'd still be contemplating the demise of my lime
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
Thank you omg
ReplyDeleteI am still fiting with a fucking plastic lemon. Real asseholes designed this fucking lemon
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree!
DeleteCum?
ReplyDeleteI went through this....scissors are too big, tooth picks not strong enough, pens were too large....mine didn't have instructions. I was ready to sue the creators!!! Evil bleepin' brats! And who keeps a stick pin in their kitchen?!? I don't do sewing in the kitchen! They need to suggest something you KEEP in the kitchen or alter the product. Geez!
ReplyDeleteMy husband just got the lid off finally! I heard a pop noise and I said, “Oh my goodness how’d you do it?!” And his only response was, “I got really mad” 🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteI thought I was having a stupid day--and was about to give up! Thank you for saving my sanity and time! NOW to find my mother's hat pin! She is no long with us so I mush search and find it! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI FELT HINGES--it's 2021 and I got a strong magnifying glass and found a rim. I took a sharp knife and cut around 3/4 of the lid and presto---it popped up and that's how you now open them! SO you can close them and seal it.
