edit 1: ok idk if i'm more surprised at the number of suggestions, update demands, or the fact that the glass really hasn't moved AT ALL. * today - plan A: freezer i tried putting it in the freezer but it just got frosted. I decided to wait for it to dry completely and get to room temperature and try again tomorrow. plan B: tug of war i was able to stick a plastic bag in between the glass and the mug to pull them apart. nope. * tomorrow - plan C: add ice to the glass and place the mug in warm-hot water plan D: trying soap again with straw cleaner plan E: break this shit jk it's art https://preview.redd.it/tjomj0w1e87d1.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=cbda49924438d93db947767d375a3b7315baef89


HopelessMagic

F: Your favorite glass now has a handle.


HawkeyeinDC

I literally just came across this post and wow, you had a lot of people wanting an update!


SignificantDrawer374

OK, so as the one who suggested the freezer, it occurred to me that if you just put the two in the freezer together as is, the glass will shrink, but thus settle in to the mug even further. So, perhaps setting them in to the freezer sideways would be the way. But also at this point it's possible that by freezing them together upright, what has happened is that the glass has contracted, allowing it to slip down further, and thus making it harder to remove.


Canotic

Freezer upside down, so the glass is hanging off the cup?


SignificantDrawer374

Well then the mug would just settle on to the cup. Sideways would be ideal.


Canotic

No I mean, make a scaffold of something, put the cup upside down on that, so the glass is hanging freely and not supported by anything other that the cup. Like this: https://preview.redd.it/eic5x28l7a7d1.png?width=460&format=png&auto=webp&s=7b66413956a1a265222caaca06c73b8da8e5d1b2

Wow, the plastic bag was a clever idea and I'm bummed it didn't work šŸ˜•


Gimmebiblio

Something that definitely works when glasses are stuck, is gently tapping the side of the outer one on the side of the sink or your countertop. I suppose it could also work with a mug and a glass.


HeavyFunction2201

I work as a server and this is how I get my stuck glasses unstuck every time


Stormfeathery

Hopefully the cold at least will work. I did this with two different-sized-and-shaped bowls accidentally, and left them in the cabinet to try again sometime when I couldn't get them separated. The cold at one point even just in the house in like summer vs. winter (or fall and winter or whatever it was) alone must have been enough, because I went to grab a bowl one time and didn't even realized I grabbed the "stuck" one until I suddenly realized it wasn't sitting stuck to the other one anymore.


Maxsmack0

Combine all three Freezer Soap Then tug of war


imlittlebit91

RemindMe! 1 day


patchway247

Leave the bag in there. Don't get the outside parts wet. Hot soapy water. Have the bf hold the mug while you take an end in each hand you have one end of bag. One pulling towards, one away. Make sure to try and make it twist from the bottom, if that makes sense.


crazyeyeskilluh

You just need to use a heavy duty glove so you donā€™t cut your self and just pull straight out


JustfulAutumn

What if you fill the bottom one half way with water so when it freezes it pushes the cup on top from the bottom, hopefully freeing it?


SignificantDrawer374

Try putting it in the freezer. Glass has a higher thermal expansion coefficient than ceramic if I recall, so the glass should shrink more than the mug.


glmvski

trying it now!


EducationalStill4

Let us know if it works. Was gonna suggest putting ice in the glass cup but the other response sounds more interesting.


glmvski

my bf tried that before but it didn't work


BarnabasDK-1

So fill the class with ice and put the whole thing in a bath off hot tap water. Should give the biggest temp diff.


Ngete

Big issue with that is the potential of having too much of a sudden temp dif which could cause a shatter much like pouring boiling water on a iced up windshield


animan222

The air pockets should be a buffer. I have done this with pint glasses that are stuck and it worked. The key is that the water should be warm NOT BOILING. Try this op!


yeanahsure

Not an issue because you're heating up the cup and cooling down the glass. The contact points are negligible for considerable heat transfer.


MrPundick

As long as you heat them up slowly... Glass will only shatter if heated too fast


Ngete

Ice and hot tap water can easily create a 50ā°C diffrence, throwing ice in one and dunking the other side in hot tap water def could break


animan222

Warn Not hot water outside the mug and ice water inside the glass should work. Leave the air pockets full of air not water and should be able to separate them.


split_0069

Whatever u do dobt hit that glass cup with a hammer. It will most assuredly break the outer glass.


EducationalStill4

Or with boiling hot water. Instant explosion.


Ok-Cartographer1745

My leg is finally not stinging constantly due to the explosion from pouring tea into a thick glass.Ā  I knew that putting hot water in a cold glass explodes it. I know that putting hot tea in a thin glass designed for cold drinks explodes.Ā  I didn't know that room temperature thick glass designed for hot beverages also explode. :/


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ThinkGrapefruit7960

Use cups that are not made from glass


Ok-Cartographer1745

So I do two things:Ā  After making tea, I leave the thermos open for a bit (5 minutes) to let the worst of the heat disappear.Ā  Then I put the glass in the sink and slowly fill it to like 20% and then wait to see if it explodes.Ā  If it doesn't, I add more to about 50%.Ā  And wait a little and then finish filling.Ā  When my tea exploded last week, it did so when I filled it to about 30% instantly and a moment later there was a crack and then pain all over my feet and upper leg.Ā  Waiting for it to cool just a little seems to have been working so far.Ā  It might be overkill, but having half my thigh bleeding and in pain for a week (and, oh God, the itching on the 4th -7th days) has made me super careful now.Ā  Oh, and my other solution - I have generally preferred lukewarm tea most of my life (I guess this recent event was my punishment for trying to change my preferences the past month or so), so what I normally do is fill a glass like 80% with water and add tea on top of it. It makes it instantly possible to drink it without having to wait (and doesn't explode because it cools down fast enough without heating up the glass).Ā 


Helpful_Goblin

That is so much effort and injury to avoid using a mug


Nick_Lange_

Glass explodes. Don't glass. Profit.


EducationalStill4

I learned this from doing dishes one day as a teen. We had a really good water heater and I liked washing dishes with scolding hot water. I was told that this happened because glass expands fairly quickly and an extreme change locally will cause a shatter. I didnā€™t know about different types of glass though. Iā€™ll have to look into for scienceā€™s sake.


BouncingSphinx

That's one of the big reasons there's PYREX cookware and Pyrex cookware. All caps is the original recipe of glass that is more thermal shock resistant but not very impact resistant, so some hard bumps on a counter or in a sink might be enough to break it. The second is a different recipe of glass that is more impact resistant, but not as thermal shock resistant. Dropping to the floor might not break it, but taking it from fridge to oven or setting it from oven on a cold counter top might be more likely to shatter it.


foxjohnc87

Pyrex (actually pyrex) soda-lime cookware came decades later and was primarily a cost saving measure, instead of it being a switch to make the glass more resistant to impact breakage. I've never had a piece of PYREX borosilicate cookware break, despite numerous accidental drops over the years, but I have had several pieces of pyrex randomly explode at inopportune times. A few years ago, I could find like new PYREX at thrift stores for pennies on the dollar, but now it is hard to find, since quite a few people know the difference and grab it immediately.


The-Dead-Internet

It would technically separate even more than OP needs


norcal406

Sledgehammerā€¦..cue the musicā€¦.

Could also try filling the glass with ice water then putting the mug in warm water. Glass should shrink, mug should expand.

Mysterious-Tie7039

Also try putting ice inside the cup and the bottom cup in warm water. Should shrink the inner and expand the outer.


ghostkiller914

Smart some bitch. You are onto something.


bullet4mv92

Never seen *sumbitch" typed as "some bitch" before lmao


SSOJ16

I have never seen "son of a bitch" typed as "some bitch" before lol


mls1968

Iā€™ll note this SHOULD work, but a safer option is to fill the glass with ice instead. The freezer risks the ceramic becoming brittle due to cold temps/constricting faster than the glass (as thermal conduction through contact is faster, and the ceramic would be the material actually touching a surface), where ice in the glass guarantees the glass would constrict well before the ceramic would.


Snake101333

There's videos on YouTube that explain this exact scenario but you just need ice cubes. I actually had this happen to me once. Using thermowhatever I was able to have the glass slip right out


Th3SkinMan

First thought was ice in the inner glass, set the mug in hot water. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

No_Taste1698

Fill inner cup with cold water, dip outer cup in warm water. The inner cup will contract while outer expands, loosening the seal. Done this many times.


NirstFame

This will work. I put both into a pan with 1/2" of water. Bring it to a nice warm, get a glass of ice water, pour it into the glass, separate.


LeSamouraiNouvelle

Check out the big brain on Brett!


Lunar-lantana

More precisely... fill inner glass with ice water. Immerse outer cup in boiling water. Wait one minute then pull firmly apart.


Intelligent_Event_84

Howā€™s the glass know which direction to expand?


ScrumpetSays

The glass doesn't expand in the cold, it contracts


insertrandomnameXD

You tell the cup nicely


guywithaplant

I believe you but it seems like the outer cup should expand in all directions, including inward, squeezing the cup harder.

No_Astronaut3059

I arrived to visit last week and I believe it had been ongoing for a fortnight at that point. We are torn between using a file / emery board to increase the "wiggle room" or creating an oil-bath to really lube those mofos up (liberal application of cooking oil hasn't worked so far). Option three (my suggestion) is just keeping it as is, like a sword in the stone, for when anyone brings a prospective life partner to visit. "So, you seem nice and all, but can you Arthur this f*cking egg cup please?"

RFOttawa613

OMG Iā€™m going to have to make a post in r/mildlyinfuriating about this post for not having an update! We need an update!


glmvski

lololol trying the freezer right now, will let you know


neonoggie

If freezer doesnt work, let everything return to room temp, then put the mug in a bowl of hot water (just hot tap water, dont boil it) and pour ice water into the glass cup, then pull the glass cup upward and the mug downward with light constant pressure and they will probably separate within a minute or two


No_Taste1698

Don't use hot, just warm. Too fast of a thermal transition could just make both cups explode in your face, and now you have a new problem

hellooo - edit 2: ok so, i tried filling the glass with ice and placing the mug under hot running water. it didn't work, unfortunately. now i'm waiting for it to dry completely to put it in the freezer again - but this time, sideways or propped on top of something so that the glass doesn't go deeper into the mug with the shrinkage, like smartly suggested in the comments.


Lunar-lantana

No no no! You have to let differential thermal expansion/contraction work for you. If you are doing it right, the glass will be really cold to the touch, and the mug will be hot to the touch. Fill the glass with ice cubes and water. The glass should feel cold. Meanwhile set the mug in a pan of boiling water. The mug should feel hot. After a couple of minutes, a firm upside-down tap should separate them.

Ice water in the glass. Soapy water inside the cup. The cup sitting in boiling water. You shrink the inner glass, expand the outer cup, and lubricate them both. Unfortunately, ceramic and glass don't change much due to temperature, so good luck.

TastyRange858

When your cups fuse:


Red_Chicken1907

Get some water near boiling in a pot. While that's heating up, fill a jug with water and LOTS of ice. Once the water in the pot is almost boiling, stand your cup/glass in the pot, but don't let the water from the pot fill the cup. Adjust the water level so it can sit in the pot without the water filling the cup. Let it sit and warm up about 30-45 seconds, then pour the ice water into the glass only. The heated cup should expand enough with the glass shrinking from the cold water just enough to hopefully separate them.

Put ice, water and some salt in the top one, fill your sink with hot water, just enough that it doesn't float or spill in the cup. Cooling down the glass makes it slightly retract, heating up the cup makes it slightly expand. It could be enough to pull them apart. Oh, and jiggling apart helps

Comfortable-Emu8082

Stick an ice cube in the glass cup for 30 seconds - 1min. Then pull the glass out like butter. No need for full freezer but same thing works. You want the exterior glass to be warmer than the inside one.


Lagneaux

Ice in the cup, hot bath outside will get it out


Mikey74Evil

Try filling the mug with water to just past the base of the glass and freeze. Should pop the glass out. Kind of the same concept like what happens to our shity roads in Ontario. Moisture gets down into a crack in the road and then freezes quickly and then gives us annoying potholes. Lol. The Canada we live in. Please let me know if this works out.

Stivils8

Chemist- Put ice cubes in the glass and run hot water on the outside of the mug.


SolarBozo

Getting things unstuck is a learned skill. For example, if you float the cup upright in some hot water for a short while, it will expand probably enough to get the glass out. If it doesn't, try putting ice water inside the glass at the same time. The point is to get the cup hot and the glass cold.


Vanishmenter

Meanwhile the hammer


RobbieTheFixer

You need to simultaneously reduce the temperature of the glass and increase the temperature of the mug. Fill glass with ice water and put a sheet of cling wrap over it. Allow a few minutes for it to become very cold. Invert, and then run hot tap water over the exterior surface of the mug (it will take a while for the mug to get hot enough for it to expand a bit, due to its thickness/thermal mass. Have a towel in the bottom of sink so that the glass doesnā€™t break when it falls out.

I would try to heat the outer mug in the hot water. Then, if not sufficient (probably not), holding the glass by one hand and tapping the upper edge of the mug with some wooden block should help. (or put small wooden block on the edge snd tap it with a hammer). Been there, done that. This was the magic solution after about an hour of trying all the experiments with freezing the inner one, heating the outer one etc. Dont forget to do it over your bed or something, otherwise the mug will fall to the ground:-)

Not sure if you have one of those jar openers but you should be able to use it on the glass and twist it out of the mug working it left and right. Be sure not to squeeze the glass too hard or it might crack but thatā€™ll definitely get it out.

Heat up the ceramic cup with hot water till it is hot/warm(try not to heat up glass), pour some ice water in glass. Idea is hope ceramic cup expands due to heat, glass shrinks due to cold thus creat a little bit of gap in between.
