"Plastic squeeze bottles of condiments are meant to be quick and convenient to use, and they usually are. There is one inconvenient aspect of getting into a new bottle, however: the induction seal on top. Induction seals are tiny plasticized foil layers, heat sealed to the top of bottles and jars. They prevent the contents from leaking and show that the product hasn't been tampered with."
"A TikTok from @ana..motherhood demonstrates a hack so simple you'll probably shake your head at having never thought of it yourself. Instead of trying to wrestle with the seal and pry the seal off, just open the flip top cap of the bottle you already removed to get to the seal. Inside the top of the cap is a small plastic plug that clicks into the dispensing hole. That little plug is all you need - simply press it into the induction seal to create a hole."
Plastic squeeze bottles often include an induction seal: a tiny plasticized foil layer heat-sealed to the bottle or jar top to prevent leaks and indicate tampering. Remove the flip-top cap; the inner plastic plug that normally seals the dispensing hole can be pressed through the induction seal to create a dispensing aperture. The plug matches the dispensing hole size and alignment, so it works across brands and bottle sizes. Using the cap plug avoids fingernail tearing or messy prying and opens the bottle with a single push. The method is quick and hygienic, but it may not suit every condiment or bottle design.
