    I had no idea. Thanks, Botch. Of course I'm still using my Oppo DVD player and praying nightly for its continued health.
    When Oppo quit making disk players I found two more used ones and bought them as backup; haven't needed them yet but I don't regret doing so.

    Bottle of New Riff Single Barrel 

    recently bought one, its not going to last long.   





    No sir it will not.   This is my 3rd bottle for a reason.   Ha
    Will have to give it a whirl.  All the bottles I like have ballooned in price.

    Has anyone tried this?
    I'm interested in trying the sauce- Amazon carries it, but it's pricey. $16.99 and the reviews are mixed.

    Peppers and tomatillos sounded good, but they lost me at pears.  It might be good, but I just like classic Verde sauces.

    We have three go to's, two manual and one automatic.

    1) swmbo's favourite, uses it to break the seal/bind and often works.

    2) Not sure if they still make this or something similar. Picked this from a thrift store a while back. Use it occasionally.

    3) Works real well. You can use just one on the lid, or grip the jar with a second one as well.

    Don't overlook thrift store jar openers. My cousin Billy was on a tiny budget because he had a side hustle of smoking meth, which turns out to be very expensive and rots your teeth out, so he had to start getting mushy foods in cans, at the very same time that he had no money. I found a thrift store jar opener for him that he could make payments on for four years

    Seriously though, just broke the seal on this new jar of honey and opened with ease. Worked a treat.

    just remembered this technique that works sometimes ... grab the jar and bang its bottom against the palm of your other hand.

    Just because you don't have a grant to study this, doesn't mean it isn't true.

    Give it the ol'college try.  Just be careful you will empty the entire bottle if you don't watch it.

    My aunt told me this ketchup trick years ago! The only difference is its a karate chop to the neck of the bottle. It works!  But,  she is a Carolina fan- maybe things are different in Durham?
