Tips for pulling off pour spouts on glass fifths?

[boing]

Hi all,

Does anyone have a nifty trick for pulling off/out the plastic pour spouts out of glass fifth bottles other than threatening to rip back one's fingernails each time?


Boy, those suckers are on there good.

Thanks!

i wrap a towel around them and use my whole hand to work it back and forth

Yeah that is what I do too. What I do is when I buy new spouts. I dip them into warm water to soften the plastic, and it makes them easier to pull out. Just NEVER to boil your spouts!
