35 Lifechanging Ways To Use Everyday Objects

[Curmudgeoness]

5. OK, I googled.

I am pretty shocked at all the posts! But I did find this:

Inspired, challenged, bored and thirsty on a summer afternoon, I grabbed a bottle of six-year-old Italian Pinot Grigio and three-year old California Sauvignon Blanc, both closed with real corks, and headed to the nearest sturdy tree. I banged the bottles against the tree with Crocs, Keens, dress shoes, cycling shoes, dish towels and, finally, straight-up, bottle against tree. Neither of the corks budged. Not a millimeter. Now I was sweaty, annoyed, chagrined and thirstier than before. And the wines had angry bubbles swirling around the bottles.

I’m not saying it can’t be done. I’m just saying I couldn’t do it that day. So my advice to you: at picnics, hiking, when you need to open a bottle without a corkscrew, bring a screwcap. Or champagne

That will be me. Actually, I watched a few of these and I think that I would end up being a klutz and ending up with a broken bottle. I bet if there is a way to hit that just right to break the bottle, I can do it.

Actually, I liked that idea of wine while I'm hiking. That is one place I never thought of wine.....with being so loaded down with bottles of water. Wine is a better idea. (Hey, can anyone figure out how to read this compass?????)
