Should You Open a Bottle With a Knife?
Have you ever walked over to the fridge to pour yourself a frosty drink in a glass bottle and find you’ve lost your trusty bottle opener? Well, like most things these days, TikTok will take care of you.
A recent trend in a video app shows users tapping the bottles with the butter knife at a specific rhythm, ending with the top of the bottle (and cap) rising immediately. Apparently all you have to do is knock twice on the body of the bottle, then on the neck, then swing the cap firmly and you will cut it off like a House bottle.
Since it was like a broken glass recipe everywhere, including in your drink, we decided to test the #openbottlechallenge. Sometimes we shoot these videos early in the morning, so instead of beer, I chose ginger beer and Jordan – delicious pink raspberry lemonade.
But even if this trick destroys the bottle cap, is it still the easiest and safest way to open a bottle without a regular bottle opener? Watch the video above to find out.
