Help! How to unwedge stuck drinking glasses!

[Wigeon]

So these two glasses are totally wedged together. We’ve tried:

Pulling them really hard

Tapping them on the counter to see if that dislodges them

Putting washing up liquid in the gap

Putting them in boiling water

Putting them in cold water

Nope, still stuck fast. Any other genius ideas?!

Grease? Could you smear butter or something on the bit where they are stuck together?

You need to run warm water on the outside of the outer glass.

Try rolling them like a rolling pin on a flat hard surface.

You could try cold water and ice in the inside one and then stand them in hot water - the cold should make the inside one contract and the heat makes the outside one expand.

Hot water on the outside of the outer glass, as @IsolaPribby suggests.

Drizzle oil in the gap?

Turn them upside down and try jiggling the one that is now on the top.

Agree with @NannyR, ice in the top one, stand the bottom in hot water but not too hot as might shatter. Along with vaseline in the join line. Let us know if it works or not!

But if that doesn't work try vice versa as well, hot in top but stand bottom in ice, but I would guess the other way round would work better?

Rolling pin motion - nada.

Cold in the top one and stand the bottom one in hot water. I think it's that way round?

Ice plus hot water experiment underway!

Just lay them on their sides on the counter & leave them to relax, catch them
Unaware later on!

We have the same glasses and recently got them wedged. Like pp say put water and ice cubes in the top glass and then leave the bottom glass in pretty warm water for a few minutes. That worked for us.

Tried just running hot water over the bottom one - still stuck fast. The bloody things only cost something like 10p from IKEA (ok, maybe they were £1), but I like them! And don’t want to go to IKEA! (Is it even open?)

Do you have a fish slice?

Talk loudly about throwing them in the bin.
Usually does the trick with anything showing reluctance to work in our household!

Oooo, @Thebookswereherfriends, how many minutes? Like, 2, or 20?

Spray wd40 in the join

I think we left it for at least 5 mins, then did some wiggling.

Sex lube and a fish slice

Ice cubes in the top one until it gets good and cold and contracts then place the bottom one in warm/hot water so that it expands

@DateStamp got there first!
