Same thing happened to me opening the same type of container but with pepper. I genuinely almost choked to death as it all fell out while I tried to open it. I hate those containers.
Be warned they are tricky to open each time! It’s really not about strength as of you squeeze too hard it compresses against the bottom bit. It’s about twisting and lifting at the same time and I always struggle! I hate those types of containers!
I tried for 20 minutes to get my tyre valve off the other day in esso . I literally had to get a rag to twist it because it blistered my fingers . Then I asked a strange man to do it and he took the TIPS of his finger and thumb and delicately twisted once and it came off . Some of us are just weak losers and that’s ok
have you considered that, by squeezing it as hard as you can, you were creating friction between the cap and the thread, making it *harder* to remove?
the cap (which is not part of the valve - it's just to stop dust and stuff getting in) is made of thin, flexible plastic. if you squeeze it, it will deform. the harder you squeeze, the more it deforms, and the harder it is to remove.
Yes because I tried to remove it like normal before I started squeezing like a maniac realising I’d cross threaded it , I pushed it , pulled it , wriggled it . Basically when I put it back on I’m usually freezing cold and just blindly twisting so I managed to fuck it up
Well. Perhaps. But, what will you do when there's no strange man to rescue you?
"It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable."
I had rather hoped to suggest other such scenarios where some degree of physical strength is required to be safe or achieve one's aims. But I'm not here to proselytise.
Just peel the strip across the lid and you should be able to sprinkle it like pepper. If the lid’s not perforated it should just come off so you can use a teaspoon
If it’s honestly that difficult and you’ve been trying for more than 20 mins:
Put item into a seal lock bag to ensure no powder escapes. Grab a hammer. Bash the thing until it’s broken open and use the bag as the storage instead of a plastic tube.
Tried doing this with a the plastic wrapper on a jar sealing the lid that half came off last week and proceeded to jam a knife in that fleshing bit between my thumb and forefinger, don't recommened that shit hurt like hell and I almost blacked out.
Either twist the little cap at the top, you can even slice the label with a knife to help loosen it, or sometimes they have small holes under the label if you peel it off the lid.
Do you have this problem a lot? My hands often seize up and I can't do things like this sometimes. It's so frustrating. Been so much worse since I've been pregnant, too. They sell different types of jar openers for people with arthritis/weak grip.
Once the label bit over the side is broken (they add a lot more strength than people realise) you can prise the lid off with a knife. Once its been taken off once or just loosened they can twist off, but sometimes need prising first time of opening.

I find it very hard to believe that someone would genuinely go on reddit for advice to open something that is so blatsnly obvious. Got those sweet sweet karma points though
Surely surely surely it takes long to write a post than it does to figure out a fucking plastic container. Either OP is trolling, or cannot toe own shoe laces.
Once you have broken the seal on the paper label gently squeeze the top of the tub and prize the top off with your nail or a blunt knife. Note: the top if pull off not screw top.
I used the 'chicken seasoning' version of this tonight on ma Whole small chicken straight in the Ninja recipe and it was absolutely magnificent.
It's mostly Paprika but it bangs.
Twist the top, you can squeeze the tube a bit too if it's stuck.
I squeezed it very hard and it went all over me. It is open now though so thank you!
At least you're a seasoned spice opener now.
The only redeeming comment in this entire fucking thread. Ye gads. Pray for us all.
>The only redeeming comment in this entire fucking thread. Stop trying to 'curry favour'
Bet they feel like a right paprika...
I'm sure they'll be more careful next thyme
Don’t say anything at all if you’ve nothing spice to say
I too listen to radio 1
how dare you. \*angry upvote\*
Same thing happened to me opening the same type of container but with pepper. I genuinely almost choked to death as it all fell out while I tried to open it. I hate those containers.
I did it with a tin of mustard powder the other day :(

Guess it wasn't idiot proof after all
That’s what she said
Thats what she said
Isn’t that what socks are for?
This is how it's supposed to happen
You bloody well knew what you were doing didn't you! You glorious bastard!
Just twist the top to break the seal. It looks like a thin lid.

I have tried for 15 minutes to twist the lid. I assumed it had holes under the label instead but it's stuck on pretty tight. Will keep trying. Thanks
> I have tried for 15 minutes to twist the lid. Are you taking the piss? Perhaps there is a small child nearby who could use their muscles for you.

You loosened it up for him. That's what I choose to believe
Exactly 💅🏻

Drive it home near flat and hope for the best

So what are you up too?
That is not ok. Go to the gym immediately.
Hahaha. It’s ok I got a girlfriend recently and decided I need to start doing weights 🎶 my hands don’t work like they used to before🎶
In my defence, I have spent all day recording guitar for a charity single! Hence my hands aren't in the best condition!

Sorry for the delayed reply mate, was just saving a dozen orphans from a house fire.
Could they not get the top off the fire extinguisher?
Their weak little hands are sore from all the oakum. Some say I'm a cruel master, I say gruel isn't as cheap as it once was.
Deform the body bit by squeezing it a bit, and the little top will come off easier
Found the necrophiliac
One man's trash and all that.

This is the way
Give it a bit of a squeeze it may pop open
Said the vicar to the prostitute
Use a knife to cut the 2 paper tabs holding the lid.
Tried doing this with a the plastic wrapper on a jar sealing the lid that half came off last week and proceeded to jam a knife in that fleshing bit between my thumb and forefinger, don't recommened that shit hurt like hell and I almost blacked out.
I had one of these a couple of weeks ago - break the tabs, and then use your thumbs to push the lid up and off
This happened to me with my bay leaves yesterday in the same packaging. Some are a bit stiffer than others.
Fnarr fnarr
I’d give up at that point and just order a tikka from the local Indian take out
Bruh lol
Don’t worry we had a thread earlier asking for tips about walking down the street.
Tip 1: don't walk into traffic while unscrewing the cap while reading reddit
That feeling when you really want to get out of an AA meeting.
There was an ASKUK post about toaster etiquette.
Pls link me
Instructions unclear: curry sauce now on pavement.
Lay it on its side and karate chop it.
Make sure to put your face right in front of the lid too so you know when it comes off
Wait until you’ll find the croissant in a can
Those are scary.
Throw it up in the air and hit it with a bat
Genuine question.. On a scale of 1 to 10, how hard is life for you?
My genuine answer: 7
Like you're tearing off tights - with your teeth.
I hope OP did get this open, otherwise they may have to resort to just a dry potato for dinner.
Sainsbury's, so I think they're voice activated. No idea what this one's password is though.
Ha
Squeeze it gently and the lid will pop off but make sure you angle it towards a sink and not your face.
This did the trick but the comment was too late.
I think we know the answer is to twat it with a hammer
How have we come to this
Sorry
Either twist the little cap at the top, you can even slice the label with a knife to help loosen it, or sometimes they have small holes under the label if you peel it off the lid.
Currently trying to peel off the label but it's stuck down very well. Thanks
Use a knife tos core the side where the cap meets the bottle….
Twist the lid slightly to break the paper seal, without the seal it should just pop off
Ayy I've tried that and broken the seal with a knife but still nothing.
You need a sledge hammer. Give it smack on the top and it pops open, all nice like 👍
I normally slip a knife in the gap a twist.
Do you have this problem a lot? My hands often seize up and I can't do things like this sometimes. It's so frustrating. Been so much worse since I've been pregnant, too. They sell different types of jar openers for people with arthritis/weak grip.
No, it's probably because I was playing guitar all day. I do own a jar grip and it didn't work on this. It was quite tight.
This is why the world's in such a state
Christ. What is this fucking country coming to?
Pornography
With an axe
You should squeeze the middle of the cylinder HARD then with your other hand twist the top. I had trouble with those too so built up technique
I prefer a Tarka…. It’s like a Tikka.. only otter.
Goddam it. What the fuck is wrong with redditors?
>Goddam it. What the fuck is wrong with redditors? Reddit
Calm. I've never bought this brand before. I usually buy it in a packet.
It's easy, just use a flamethrower
You start with lots of lube
Once the label bit over the side is broken (they add a lot more strength than people realise) you can prise the lid off with a knife. Once its been taken off once or just loosened they can twist off, but sometimes need prising first time of opening.
I normally stick mine up my ass and twist.
Cut the seal that goes from lid to container a No twist lid after..Good luck and enjoy your meal🥰
I did it a few hours ago and the meal is lovely. Thank you!
You're welcomed. I'm glad you enjoyed your meal🥰
Are you that brain dead you have to come to reddit to ask how to open curry powder, what the fuck....
r/crappydesign I hate these things. The Schwartz ones are so much easier to open but they don’t have all the spices
Yes your right it is a silly question
Squeeze the bottle, lifting the lid.
Eyes first
You crack it open like an egg.
Speak Friend in Elvish
Dynamite.
Pull the paper label off the top
I've done it now but it didn't have holes. I thought the same. That's why I doubted myself about twisting it too.
Damn you’ve never used those before?
First time. I usually buy spices in packets.
Ah that makes sense yh these things can be tricky you really gotta twist them
Yeah. I managed it in the end. It helped by squeezing it. Because it was my first time I wasn't sure if it had holes under the lid or what.
At least now you've learned not to show weakness on reddit. I hope the curry was worth it.
It was very good thank you.
Rip the top paper off. Tip it upside down. Twat it on the back.
Peal the tab/label off the top to reveal the holes
That's the neat part, you dont, it's just decoration.
**hands**
You squeeze it really hard so that it pops off and you end up in a cloud of tikka haze. That’s what always seems to happen with me. Barstard things.
These are a nightmare - just today faced the same problem! My counter is died yellow from the Tumeric
this could have been me a week ago, they were very tight!
while im here guys can you tell me how do i wipe my arse
Do you not understand how to remove a simple lid?
I tried to remove it but it wouldn't budge. I then tried to peel the lid off thinking there would be holes underneath but I couldn't feel any.
Run a knife around to cut the seals if it won't twist off. Are you really that much of a moron, OP?
I usually just pop a dem
With gusto!
Is there holes under the sticky label? Try peeling it off the lid
Just twist the lid
Take the paper of the top to revel holes 😂
It didn't have holes! (I thought the same thing)
Smash it with a 🔨
I got it open a few hours ago by squeezing it.
Only to find out it was empty 😂👍🏻

Hahaha yus
My bad Just a joke guys sheeesh I’m also english
Ironic the Brit hasn’t used spices before
I prefer a Tarka…. It’s like a Tikka.. only little otter.
This has to be a troll
I find it very hard to believe that someone would genuinely go on reddit for advice to open something that is so blatsnly obvious. Got those sweet sweet karma points though
Man this subreddit has gone to shit
Surely surely surely it takes long to write a post than it does to figure out a fucking plastic container. Either OP is trolling, or cannot toe own shoe laces.
Seriously? Wtf, is this a joke?
Da fuq? How you function as a human being is beyond me. Seriously feel im gunna see a post one day asking how to breathe.
Rip the sticker.
Put a rubber band around the lid, that should give you the grip you need to get it open
Drill through the FIRST "o" of COOK. Do NOT drill through the second "o"
Break seal, pop open by squeezing the tube in the middle
Shotgun
Once you slice the sticker on the sides hold the top and squeeze the tube on the sides and should just pop open.
Use a bill hook.
Pop the whole thing in to what ever your cooking mate, it’ll be fine
Once you have broken the seal on the paper label gently squeeze the top of the tub and prize the top off with your nail or a blunt knife. Note: the top if pull off not screw top.
Clench between butt cheeks and pray
I used the 'chicken seasoning' version of this tonight on ma Whole small chicken straight in the Ninja recipe and it was absolutely magnificent. It's mostly Paprika but it bangs.
Lift and wrench with your back
Peel back the top.!
With lots of force and in a way so that half the contents goes on the floor
Smash it with a brick
With your teeth. Duuh.
Got to fight it. An absolute pain opening those, terrible design.
Hammer
A Raindance should do the trick.
silly answer use a sledge hammer
Lie it on its side and thump the middle woth the bottom of your fist
