how to separate plastic cups


Posted: Jul 8, 2010

How do I separate plastic drinking cups that are stuck together?

;

not easy - have you tried dish soap

if that doesn't work, maybe pour some sudsy dish soap on the cups and microwave for a few seconds to warm them up, then try to pull apart.

Ice on the inside, heat on the outside - Janie

This works with 2 cups.  Not sure if it will work if there are more than 2 stuck together.


Fill the inside cup full of ice then wait a few minutes.  Turn on the hot tap water and let the hot water run around the outside cup.  One should contract, while the other will expand.  Should work if they are not melted together because of being in the sun.  LOL

Keurig - New Info On K-cupsJun 25, 2010
Since we last "talked" I have been doing some research in an effort to find K-cups at a better price. This is the best I have found so far: Amazon.com - They offer a variety of brands/flavors and if you sign up for their Subscribe & Save program the price is reduced by 15% and the shipping is free and fast. I ordered Timothy's Breakfast Blend, 50 K-cups, and on this program the cost was just under $19.00. You can select the frequency of shipments, 1 month, 2 months, etc. and can op o ...

Oil = Plastic.....Mar 06, 2013
Have we figured out yet how we are going to get along without plastic if we get rid of oil? Just asking..... I live in a state with coal and oil - having family/friends working in both industries. It amazes me how passionate we can be about protecting our environment and still being in favor of coal and oil. It is not giving up those things entirely - it is continuing to pursue the cleanest use of those products as we can. As long as the alternatives are more expensive/less efficient, coal ...

I might write some more about this later on but just now am wondering about the above. I have been married over 10 years now but questioning about doing the above for this next year. Long story so will not go into it at this late hour tonight. If you file separate, any advantages or disadvantages. I always thought better for a couple to file together but.... like I said more later. What about deductions, who would take those or?

Do You Think Merged Or Separate Finances Makes AJun 28, 2013
I was married for 16 years and we had a joint checking account.  It did not work.  I have been single for a long time, but may have a chance to try marriage again.  My mom always told me separate checking accounts made for a strong marriage.  I see that in my older sister.  I'm so independent now that I want some money, but with the way things are in the MT world, I'm always just a bad check away from disaster.  I am beginning to think it would be nice to ...
