Does anyone know how to use these "%$*£" 2 part bottle lids?

[Pepperty]

Anyone have a clue how these lids work? I have literally tried everything...... 



I naturally assumed that i screwed them on, maybe squeezed or twisted other way for lid to come away and expose nozzle. But no, the whole thing just unscrews leaving wide neck bottle exposed, I know they were cheap   but I did expect them to do the job in hand!

I bought gaffer tape to pop around neck as I just presumed they were a bit leaky......  but no, its a krypton factor puzzle

Lol i assume if you screw it on the bottle...and pull the top most cap off wont work??

[Pepperty]

both lid and spout seem to have screw grooves, i just thought anticlockwise but no
neither are there two flat bits either side that medicine bottles have to squeeze and twist whilst pressing down 

[Pepperty]

what is has got is weird fins and cutouts between the two parts so I'm trying to see if press down into teh grooves takes both parts and lift up only takes lid (which seems logical but it aint happening!)

[thebishman]

Hang on...is the needle tip hollow??

[Pepperty]

AHA! you are correct thebishman lift outer lid off the grooves and pry apart with brute strength (or in my case; tweezers) no grooves in lid. Bloody dramatic but usable.


I was mixing for a pal but I dare not give him these bottles so I'll have to keep them for my own juices and give him my normal other ones

I think that you aren't meant to separate!
I assume that the needle point doesn't have a hole?

This is what i was thinking lol. The needle tip being hollow!?

[Pepperty]

but then i couldn't get the juice out unless remove whole lid? and if that's how they should be used then why have a needle point in bottle lid
poor confused Pep

I just thought you snipped a hole in to suit <<< how awkward!

Oh well, as they are 120ml bottles I can mix in them and let them steep, then decant into smaller nibbed bottles to use  I still feel less embarrassed than the forum member who didnt get the  blue sticky backed plastic....

I think it is a form of child resistant cap.... you need to push down and turn to open.

Sorry to say that but I belive you missed something Pepperty . what you forced appart is the lid with the child lock in it I have the same bottle (100ml version) and it came with the nozzle bit

[Pepperty]

I believe you are correct pancser after digging about in bag there are 50 tips to go with 50 lids to go with 50 bottles I AM stupid but very relieved!

THANK YOU for pointing out the error of my ways   now I can use these for everyday use
