Hints from Heloise - Unsticking drinking glasses

By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise: I stacked two glasses, and now ... help! They are STUCK! I don’t want to break them trying to separate them. What can I do?

Try filling the top glass with ice cubes and cold water. Now take the bottom glass (with the top glass still stuck in it) and place it in warm, almost hot water. With a slight tug, the glasses should come apart. How does it work? The cold water contracts while the hot water expands. Just be careful as you pull the two glasses apart, because too much pressure could cause them to break. -- Heloise
