If the cork has broken off and you can no longer reach it with your opener - one option is to push it into the bottle instead of trying to pull it out. You will want to use a sieve as you pour to catch any small pieces of cork - but this method usually works well.

Try this Foolproof method:

I screwed a 3" deck screw through the cork that was stuck down in the neck of the bottle. I then used a set of diagonal pliers to GENTLY pry up on the shank of the screw until it was flush with the top of the bottle. I then used a pair of needle nose pliers to form a bridge around the cork and continued to pry up with the diagonal pliers. In a short period of time, I had pulled the cork far enough out of the bottle to finish the job just pulling on the screw. This really does work and is much faster then it sounds

Can plastic kill whales?

Why plastic is more dangerous... than what? Your question isn't complete, however, I can still give you a reason why plastic is more dangerous than metal. (In water bottle form.) Plastic is more dangerous than metal in water bottle form because when plastic heats up (like say it's left in a hot car for a long time) it releases a chemical called Bisphenol A (BPA) into the water or whatever is in your water bottle. This is potentially harmful. Metal does not release this kind of chemical. I hope I helped!! :)

How do you make a rope stay in a bottle?

To make a rope stay inside a bottle, you can tie a knot at one end of the rope that is larger than the bottle's opening, preventing it from slipping through. You can also use a cork or stopper to secure the rope inside the bottle. Another option is to melt the end of the rope slightly to form a bulb that is too large to pass through the opening.


Why does plastic water bottles melt when you put hot water in it?

Because the melting point of the plastic used to make the bottle is lower than the temperature of the water that you have put in it. Plastic bottles are 'blow molded'. Basically air is forced inside a small piece of hot plastic and it expands like a balloon, except that this 'balloon' is inside a form or mold in the shape of the bottle. It is cooled and the bottle shape stays. If the softening point of the bottle is lower than the hot liquid poured in, then the plastic 'balloon' wants to shrink again.
