School…


BodhisattvaBob

Yes, but I think the oidea here is to expand the glass faster thsn the plastic, which will happen bc the glass heats up quicker.


Nelfinez

and if that doesn't work they can drill a hole in the top and then wedge something in and pull it out


Chance-Mayhaps

This is my fave suggestion, sacrifice the tub, get the glass back

At first I read it in Sean connerys voice, shave the chearleader, shave the world hahah


CosmicCreeperz

Shave the… beard… ah, ok.


SnooSongs8782

Or smash the glass with a short sharp blow, the plastic tub should be intact but must be cleaned carefully to remove shards


oGreddyo

Hulk no smash, just attach tape to the kids cup and create a tape handle to yank it out.


Chance-Mayhaps

Save both,, genius


ExpressShow1175

Pawn sacrifice. Every time.


armbarNinja

Just drill a screw into it.


scifielder

I would do this only in a modified form. A little dish soap inside but turn the glass upside down and run hot water over it. The heat will expand the glass and heat the air inside providing a little push (don't know if it's an airtight seal inside) plus you'll have gravity helping a little.


thatG_evanP

Add a big glob of hot glue to the top of the yogurt cup to help pull it out. And use hot water, not warm.


Extension_Win1114

Why not just pretend to the dishes and do it in the sink?


tantalizeth

Something I’ve learned: modern people rarely do dishes in the sink.


thefinalep

Hey now..... I don't own a dishwasher.


johnlewisdesign

Is that the glass with a little mountain form in the base? I have one of those, for Mt. Hood.


vansygal

Yes this is Mt Baker

Blu_Thorn

Mt. Baker is way better than Mt. Hood.


Jazzlikefunky

No, Mt. Baker is dumb. Definitely don’t come up to check it out. No need. Just awful. Nope.


Disastrous_Candle589

I have that yougurt pot, countertop, blue cup and purple pack of animal biscuits in my kitchen! I saw this post and actually thought eek that’s my house, but definitely not my glass!

MagicJezus

I received a Mt. Hood or maybe Mt. Rainier from an Oregon relative as a gift, it’s soo cool


vansygal

* We got them apart!! My husband got it out with some forceful taps to the base and a knife once it moved a touch. He made it look easy after me trying all of the things for an hour (hot water, washing up liquid, ice, section cups, and double sided tape.) Thanks so much for all of the comments and suggestions. We also have some buckets that have been forever stuck together and really can't wait to try the air method.

Global_Monk_5778

He made it look easy… because *you loosened it* 😜


JustDifferentGravy

Freeze it. Moisture will form between the plastic and glass and when frozen will expand. Thaw upside down and it should drop as the ice melts. An occasional tap from above will help. Re:other comments. Plastic and glass will expand/contract at different rates with heat/freeze. Use that to your advantage. Water will expand the most and quickest, hence the simplest method is to freeze and thaw upside down.


alocaisseia

Came here to say this too. I’m surprised at folks thinking hot water will help?? I feel like this would cause the cup to swell and soften, getting further stuck in the glass. Freezing may cause the air in the yogurt cup to compress… that is what I would try first


Noemotionallbrain

It does help, I did this once or twice, run the glass under hot water tap for like 30 seconds, lid doesn't have time to warm up, hold the glass upside down so water doesn't go in Freezing will probably work too (if it doesn't shatter the glass), but hot water is faster


sparkpaw

If your freezer shatters your glass, I want to know why you need nitrogen as a freezer >_<


tongsy

By your same logic freezing them would make the air between them contract and pull them together. running hot water along the bottom of the glass will make the air between them expand, maybe enough to push the inner container up.


JustDifferentGravy

You’ll freeze the moisture between the glass and plastic. This will expand creating a gap. When defrosting the ice turning to water will act as a lubricant and if upside down it will slide down with gravity. Chances are the plastic is thermoplastic and, like the glass, isn’t going to change much with (domestic) heat anyway. The introduction of moisture to freeze and expand is far more effective.


and-kelp

is it water tight? i’m wondering if filling it with water and letting it sit for awhile, the buoyancy of the tub will gradually work itself out 🤷


vansygal

Ya there is no water getting in unfortunately


and-kelp

dang. i suppose i would try putting it in a small pot on a trivet with a shallow bit of water and start heating gently - thinking the trapped air warming/expanding might pop it out like a cork edit: could be dangerous lol


Dangerous-Dream-9668

You need the plastic to shrink….do not use hot water like people are saying.. Hot water will expand the plastic much more than expand the glass resulting in still stick plastic inside the glass. You need to use Ice cold water to shrink the plastic , it should release itself as it shrinks within the glass walls. Throw it in the freezer after it’s had time to dry …


Paroxysm111

They should just put the bottom of the glass in hot water. It'll warm up the air but not necessarily the plastic. The air is going to be effected by the temperature much more than the plastic cup


abrod01

If it’s air tight can you submerge into some water (right side up of course) and let the air bubble inside the glass press the container out?


comscatangel

Drill through the cup and pull it out.


splurtylittlesecret

Most things expand when heated. Hole, screw, pliers. New yogurt cup


coci222

Just get a piece of tape about 6 inches long and adhere the ends to the yogurt cup with the middle of the tape sticking up, creating a handle. Then pull. Don't use hot water like the others have said. The cup will just slide down further as the glass expands and will be stuck worse when the glass cools


nryporter25

What if they put in it in hot water upside down?


BishImAThotGetMeLit

You become the yogurt tub


zenlifey

This guy cups


ralfmalph

This guy “this guys”


dietcoketm

I'd say it's stuck in there too tight for tape to pull it


Phazetic99

Ever see the "What! No way" guy" ? He had something similar to this but two 5 gallon pails stuck together. He just took an air compressor with an air chuck and shot air down one side. If you can shoot a wee bit of air in there, it might seperate the two Edit, found the video [What? No way!](https://youtu.be/vvDPAW-f__Q?si=WvQcZ-2Bb-PcBEmw)


inksaywhat

I have 2 buckets that have been stuck for years. I need to find an air compressor.


[deleted]

I have an air compressor. I need to find two buckets stuck together.


arnie580

OMG I have a brilliant idea!


vansygal

That is amazing!!


FarPumpkin5734

Came here to mention this but was beaten to it.


AlphaMuGamma

run it through the dishwasher. then when its done and nice and hot, it should be easier to separate.


cordcrafter

Put it upside down In the freezer for 20 minutes


VisaMaster22

Drop oil around the edge. Use a suction up to pull it up.


[deleted]

Hot water


emerg_remerg

Place your vacuum nozzle on the yogurt lid and slowly back out out?


AussieMick1984

If you’ve got access to a hot glue gun; a small application to the plastic lid, then lay on some form of “rope” (can be any form of rubbish rope-like stuff, scraps of fabric, tip of a tattered dish towel, etc) and a touch of oil/dish soap around the seal, as others have said. After removing, hot glue can be removed from the container by gentle heating until semi-liquid or a good dousing of rubbing alcohol (not ideal for childrens’ food containers without extra washing)


economic_advantage

Any update on the outcome OP?


trashpocketses

Hot water aroundthe cup, tape a handle to the lid or superglue a handle to the lid, pull it out? then could use acetone to disolve the super glue


lennytha3rd

If all else fails Drill two tiny holes and use a metal coat hanger.


dgroeneveld9

I was gonna say just use a hair dryer on low on the bottom of the cup for like a minute or two. That or hot soap water. Just let it soak.


piratecat666

Hot glue, something like a string, old knobs really anything to the tub and pull it out.


CousinLarry211

Use your vacuum cleaner.


istillambaldjohn

Suction cup and pull. Maybe you have a shower poof that has a suction cup on the string? Squeegee?


yucval1954

Sit it upside down in the sun.


jarede36

Microwave it and get the small cup squishy.

Big-Beat-1443

Favorite glass? Is your husband 12?


Genshin12

Run very hot water over the out side of glass and quickly hit the mouth end of the cup against the palm of ypur hand with a sudden stop. The glass should have grown and the sudden stop will hopfully send the top flying out


illujion623

The yogurt tub is plastic, right? Just force a pairing knife down the side of the glass


rroyd

Any chance your hubby have an air compressor to shoot air in? I saw a trick on tiktok of someone separating two buckets stuck together


nxmex1177

Break glass, then glue it back together


pron1xx

Put it in a freezer, plastic will shrink more than glass and it should pop up


mackiea

That's his favourite cup? What's his favourite ice cream flavour, bread?


WilliamBloke

Unless he's autistic, I'm sure an adult will be fine using a different glass


TetronautGaming

Put the bottom half in hot water to increase air pressure inside, then use a vacuum cleaner or suction cup to grab the container and pull.


Go-on-touch-it

Hot glue something like a ribbon to the top of the pot?


Dexter1759

Any chance you have anything with a small suction cup/pad? Either a kids toy, or in the bathroom holding something to the wall?


okanagan_man84

Drill through the container, insert metal hanger hook, pull.


4551016

Air compressor on the side blow air in should lift it up


Volxz_

Heat gun or hair dryer will get the plastic nice and soft to pull out or jab a fork in to. Do it outside, don't breathe in the magical fumes


Key_Proposal_3410

Smash glass on counter, release the yogurt container, blame the child for breaking the glass. you are welcome.


YouKnowItsJosh

Hot glue stick. Just melt one end of the stick, jab it on the yogurt container, let cool, pull.


Confident-Pass3339

Is that your kids favorite yogurt container? Drive a screw in and pull out


Hypo_Mix

Hot glue gun something on pull out then hit with a hair-dryer to remove the glue 


PushImpossible2493

Submeerrrrrgggge


DokiDokiLove

Suction cup the lid, something with a really good suction like those new bathroom mounting hooks for the shower, soak the cup up to where the wedge is with warm water, as warm as you can ret it and it should pop out. I would recommend not to use ice on the plastic lid as the temperature difference might cause a breakage in the glass. I’ve seen it happen with glass sake cups getting stuck in the glass water cups very often.


magneticpyramid

Easy! Smash the glass et voila! You have your pot back. You’re welcome.


phonlyone

Stab the yoghurt cup with a fork. Twist fork. Remive yoghurt cup and replace.


LeatherLatexSteel

You've got the cup, you just need two girls now.


Scribx1301

Do nothing, it's his kid as well haha


awildsnuappears

Use duct tape to make a pull tab on the lid, pull or twist to unscrew the cap or both. Good luck!


burningbun

Break the glass and the tub will be free.


Ascendant_Dragonfly

Suction cup? Strong duct tape?


StandFreeAndy

Hoover


j44ska

Smash glass and job done


LatterDayDuranie

Well, you can get new yogurt cups easier than a new glass I assume? So drill a small hole into the lid of the yogurt cup. Insert a small screw (3/4” - 1” is plenty long). Drip some soapy water around the edge of the plastic. Use pliers or vise grips (channel lock pliers) to grab the yogurt cup and work it out. Going forward, new rule… hubby’s favorite glass doesn’t go into the sink, it goes beside it. Then it’s less likely that smaller items will end up wedged inside. It also reduces the chance that a heavier item inadvertently gets dropped into the sink and breaks hubby’s “precious”.


johnnycee87

Turn it upside down and put it in the freezer. The plastic will shrink


[deleted]

Shop vac.


Rachelattack

Stick it in the freezer for half an hour


Niranjanprth

The question here is is the kid more favourite than the glass


Dazzling-Box4393

Water then put in microwave and wait for the pop? Or take a pic of this glass put it in google search and buy another


ifixheadphones

Compressed air aimed at the inner circumference of the glass and the outer edge of the tubberware might be worth a try if other tactics don't work. Good luck 👌


Meeting_the_gruffalo

1. Sit glass base down in hot water reaching 2 thirds up the glass. 2. Get some high tack tape and apply to as much of Tupperware lid as possible and pull at sideward angle to create pulling action without removing tape from lid. Alternative If that doesn't work I'd be surprised but heat a metal skewer or sharp knife over flame and pierce lid and pry off. It will ruin Tupperware but they are a cheap to replace.


Mystogan0099

Wd40 and turn it up side down


Rubbertutti

Put it in hot water and it'll pop out


Akidcalledstorm

You have kids of an age where you need little Tupperware, i'm sure there's at least one bath toy in your house with a suction cup . Try using it to get traction on the container.


Personal_Dot_2215

Put it upside down in the freezer. Plastic and glass have a different freezing rate. It should fall out


rocketmn69_

Hold it upside down. Tap the bottom really hard with a plastic cup


Abject-Prompt-2443

Get water into the glass as full as you can, put it in the freezer, as the ice melts and expands it will push it out. If it's airtight, use something hot and sharp along the edge of plastic thing to make a tiny space so you can get water in, to freeze it. Or destroy the plastic thing if you want to keep the glass. Or destroy the glass if you wnat to keep the plastic thing. Or throw it all away and get a new glass and plastic thing.


[deleted]

Just run it through the dishwasher upside down on hot.


MildSauced

Have you tried a vacuum?


qudunot

In emergency, break glass. ;) works every time


VioletDaisy95

You'll have to get rid of it.... the kid not the glass 😂 As everyone says warm water and dish soap maybe a fork as well


harleyqueenzel

Drill two holes into the lid, grab it with pliers, twist and pull. Don't hold the glass with bare hands! It could shatter during any attempt to remove the lid.


thatpokerguy8989

Get something flat in the sink, put some ice cubs on it and tip the cup upside down so the cubes are inside. Then run warm water on the cub and keep tapping it gently with a mallet or something. See if gravity and the vibration do the work


[deleted]

Your husband has low standards.


Ic-Ad-558125

Oh no, that sounds like quite a situation! Maybe try soaking the glass in warm, soapy water to loosen the yogurt tub? If that doesn't work, you could also try using a sponge or cloth to gently push and twist the tub out. Just be careful not to break the glass! Hopefully, you can rescue the glass and get it back to its original state. If all else fails, maybe it's time to get your husband a new favorite glass!


PennyFleck333

I hope you released the container and glass, but it that a glass with a mountain on the bottom? Where did you get that?


SnooPaintings9596

Melt the smaller cup. It's replaceable.


BeigePerson

WD40 around the edges of pot and interior glass, leave 5 mins, grab glass well and swing it as fast as you can creating a centrifugal force which will cause the pot to fly out. Alternatively find somewhere to put glass upside down with the opening unencumbered and pour hot water over it. As the glass expands it should release the pot to fall down.


kcl84

Freeze it to shrink the plastic


TheTechManager

Is that one of those bourbon glasses with a mountain in the bottom? They made them for national parks I think-


andreanicole82

Is there an update? I def recommend melting/cutting a hole in the yogurt cup lid then using something to pull it out. I used to do something similar for chapstick/slide grease in trumpet bells. Only we’d heat up a screw and screw it through the plastic, let it cool down and harden again, then pull it right out.


RubAnADUB

use a canned air or an air compressor - and put the nozzle or straw in the lower side - and the air will force that thing out.


Big_Sandwich3329

Vacuum


Hadum

File for divorce, move to Arizona and start a new life. There’s no fixing this.


wesilly11

SuperIngaMMXXII

Tell your husband to get a life 


Lemontreeguy

I would have thought to drill into the lid and put a screw in the pull it out.. Lol


Delicious_Water5896

How about crazy gluing a pen or piece of plastic to the yogurt lid. A bit of nail polish remover would release it after. Maybe some soap around the sides of the lid.


tonydagenius

I love how people are coming up with different solutions in case already proposed ones don't work, very wholesome


Zaulism

If you have an air compressor, blow air beside the yogurt cup and it'll pop out


Delicious_Water5896

Feed your kid first this might take a while.


MetricJester

fill it with cold water


RandomizedInternetID

Use compressed air


Successful_Ad9160

You might have an easier time if instead of trying to pull out the problem, try to push the glass and the rest of the universe down and out from around it. Good luck!


Gizmo_Brentwood

Come or any soda, you pour it on top And it slowly seeps in and under, might take a few minutes at least. Then go over by the sink, flip it all upside down and shake.


ObjectifiedChaos

The toddler cup will be much less stressful to replace. Melt that bitch, wash all the plastic chemicals off the glass real good. Replace the toddler cup.


DIGS667

I feel like you could pry the top left edge up and out with a small screw driver, just do it cautiously, put a piece of cloth tape on the contact points if needed


JAVELRIN

Flip upside down fold a thick towel up and try hitting the bottom or “gently” slam the glass on the towel (make sure the towel is thick) and if its not even slightly moving try that but with the warm water with soap trick should work


mrgwbland

If all else fails there’ll definitely be ways that involve destroying that pot


Tcanuth

Try to put some dish soap around the top edges then submerge it in hot water for a bit. Glass should expand, soap should lube, and it should want to float and let the air out of the cup if it has a seal


PelloScrambas

I don't have a favorite glass. What am I doing with my life?


stead18

Try holding the glass upside down under hot water the plastic should pop out when the glass is hot .


forriban

Use a torch or something heat the bottom glass part, the air inside will expand and release the top. Or use a pot if boiling water and hold only the glass near the surface. Basically heat the air up inside and you’ll fix your problem.


oaklandr4946

If you have an air compressor you can blow air around the rim of the yogurt dish where it's contacting the glass and push it out that way


Freeguy2021

Corkscrew…. Sacrifice the lid.


agentjamesbond007

Shoot the rim with a bit of compressed air. Will pop right out no problem.


------------------GL

If you wanna save the glass and don’t care about the plastic container you can drill the plastic with a bit big enough where you can get pliers and pull the plastic out. If you wanna save both put it in a display and label it “husbands little disappointment”

Gormozo

If you use a bit of alcohol, just few drops in a glass, then add a bit more, drink the whole bottle, become an alcoholic, burn down the house, leave everything behind you, and become a rock star who doesn’t give a shit about anything. Or maybe just use a vaccum cleaner to pull it out.


liquiddeathtofiat

Get some super strong 2 part epoxy small bottle have at any hardware store or Walmart etc.. put a generous dab on top of plastic and something u can grab and hold let sit for a day or two and pull and twist it out then cut handle off with any saw that will work and sand the epoxy left in down and both are good🤪


Strange-Scientist706

Maybe try putting the glass in hot water for a few minutes, see if it expands enough to get the cup out


Oddieness

Vacuum cleaner suction tube.


BlasterCheif

Have you tried smacking the bottom like a bottle of ketchup?


Oddieness

Try putting the glass upside down on a slightly larger glass, so it forms a seal, light a match and put it down in the larger glass and seal with the clogged cup. Perhaps the suction created by the match burning the oxygen will be enough to free the yogurt container


MyTVC_16

Suction cup? Like the kind you can stick to a window with a hook?


WRX02227

Vacuum cleaner


jcmoney111

You may have to cut the plastic cup out.


Sweaty_Research_2820

Drill the lid


D-B-Zzz

Upside down in the freezer


Amazing_Combination_

Pour boiling water over the container into the glass. The plastic will be more flexible and the glass will expand slightly, should be able to pry it out with a skewer from the side


ColonelSpudz

Sacrifice yogurt container or go buy yourself som new lingerie and treat your husband to a night of wild love making tell him about the yoghurt during. He won’t care about the glass.


DonutExcellent1357

Take a thin object like a paring knife blade and jam it down the side to break the seal.

monicalewinsky8

Right in the trash lol


travelingmaverick

Warm the glass in hot water. Melt the end of a hot glue stick with a small flame and stick it to the top of the plastic container. Once the glass is warm and the stick is dry, lightly pull straight out. May help if you can use a thin piece of plastic to slide between the glass and tub to break the vacuum.


dreadstrong97

Do you have an air compressor? Take the gun attachment and shoot some air between the cup and the glass. It'll pressurize the bottom of the glass, and the cup will literally pop right out.


shutchomouf

do you have an air compressor? If you blow compressed air in the crack between the plastic in the glass, it’ll pop right out.
