Here’s a cheeky tip from us dedicated to all the roving cattle wranglers who’ve gone and gotten the lid of their “White 450ml Stainless Steel Travel Mug” from My Moo Mugs as stuck as a roo in a billabong. Now, we know our swirly cow-themed mugs can keep your morning brew piping hot, but a locked-up lid can really buckaroo your day. Follow these steps to unlock this ride and get back to enjoying your bevvy from our trusty companion mug.
1. First off, take a swig of courage, mate. Facing a stubborn lid takes that good ol’ Aussie grit. Chuckle this off as a “bit of a sticky wicket”.
2.
Select any of the following options.
1. Heat Expansion: You could put the travel mug in warm water for a few minutes. This could make the material expand and loosen the lid.
2. Rubber Gloves: Using rubber gloves could give you a better grip to twist and remove the lid.
3. Wrap and Twist: Wrap a dish towel around the lid for a better grip and slowly try to twist it off.
4. Tap the Lid: Use a wooden spoon to lightly tap around the edges of the lid. The gentle force could help it loosen slightly to be removed.
5. Freeze and Run Under Hot Water: Sometimes, freezing the mug and then running it under hot water can create enough of a temperature contrast to cause expansion and contraction, loosening the lid.
6. Use a Tool: If all else fails, you might try using a tool like a pair of pliers to help you get a better grip on the lid and twist it off. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as you might damage the lid.
Remember, when dealing with hot temperatures or tools, always observe the proper safety measures to avoid burns or injury.
