Hey, everybody. Today, I thought I'd give you a quick lesson on how to open a child-proof container.
|
|
It's not as straightforward as a lot of you think.
|
|
I'm going to use, as my example, an Afrin.
|
|
This is a great product, by the way.
|
|
I use it all the time. And they have a child-proof cap.
|
|
Now, the trick is you have to see the writing here that tells you how to open it.
|
|
And watch this. It says to press down and then turn.
|
|
If you just try to turn it without pressing down, it won't open.
|
|
Childproof. Pretty good, huh?
|
|
But if you press down, it comes right off.
|
|
Look at that. Easy peasy.
|
|
Now, here's the larger version of Afrin.
|
|
It has exactly the same cap with the same instructions.
|
|
But this one's a little trickier.
|
|
So this one, if you try it regular, it doesn't work.
|
|
But if you press down, that also doesn't work.
|
|
Now, the instructions are exactly the same as the other one.
|
|
It says, push and turn.
|
|
But with the larger one, you have to read between the lines.
|
|
It doesn't mean what you think.
|
|
What it means, and I'll give you a demonstration, Is that you need to use a saw to open it.
|
|
So I'm going to demonstrate how to do that.
|
|
I recommend using work gloves so you don't get damaged.
|
|
I'll put on mine.
|
|
Feel a lot safer with these.
|
|
Of course you want safety glasses.
|
|
Gotta have safety glasses.
|
|
So safety first.
|
|
Always safety. Now This is the tool you want to use to open your afferent.
|
|
put it sideways and then start sawing.
|
|
Yeah, success.
|
|
Now you're probably saying to yourself, well that's no good because how do I actually get that out of there?
|
|
And that's stage two.
|
|
For that, you need a straw.
|
|
Oh, good stuff.
|
|
Now in the process of opening it, you might spill a little on your cutting board, but don't let that go to waste, because you paid for all of it.
|
|
So you want to get that too.
|
|
Other nostril. That's good stuff.
|
|
So remember, If you're opening the little one, all you have to do is follow the directions, push down lightly, and twist.
|
|
It comes right off. But for the larger size, you're going to need the saw.
|
|
So now you know how to do it.
|
|
And that's my public service for the day.
