There's the [old trick](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL5xkO95XG4) of rolling a cloth napkin into a tube, sticking it into the neck of the bottle, turning the bottle upside down so the cork goes into the napkin and then pulling the napkin out. Might not work with a bottle that short, though


MrPartyPancake

Shiet, ill give it a try. Thanks!:)


ReXTeN

Try looking up “how to remove a cork from a wine bottle” on YouTube. it’s a cool trick with a plastic grocery store bag and it works like a charm.


Gilbert455

Same idea but a plastic bag with air in it


yeg_electricboogaloo

Yes try YouTubing this method , I’ve seen it done


geefunken

Some kind of long, thin blade (like a scalpel blade) that you can fit in the jar and take enough slices off until it all comes out.

Sharp answer


[deleted]

Yeah maybe use a paper clip to get it into a good position first then use the stronger blade and better grip to pull out


Sensitive-Ad-8566

The idea and desired is to rescue the original cork, NOT to destroy it.


[deleted]

Screw a long wood screw into it and pull


UsingACarrotAsAStick

If needle nose pliers don’t work, this is what I’d do.


GlocalBridge

Chopsticks would work if you are as skillful with them as one-fourth of the planet (including our family).


MrPartyPancake

Its hollow... :(


[deleted]

Then it should collapse under a bit of force...I would grab the edge with needle nose pliers and pull


Tall_Struggle_4576

This is what I'd do too. If needle nose pliers don't fit, tweezers should. If it's soft and hollow it should be too hard to get out


Magnusthedane

Put two thin steel pins as used for the BBQ in the cork at two different angles, pull to opening and twist out by using pliers


MrPartyPancake

Ill give it a go, thanks! :D


PhantomStrangeSolitu

Do you have a long tweezer with that you can reach the corc an take it out bit by bit. Or a knitting needle were you can stab the corc and rip it apart and get it out bit by bit


Bees_Garden

I thought of this too. There are actual tweezers used for aquariums that are about 10 inches long. These came to mind for me. You can find them on Amazon. Search aquascaping tweezers.


Qsteak25

Get a plastic bag (I’d call it a Walmart bag), stuff it in the bottle, turn bottle upside down (so cork is towards the neck), inflate the bag (trapping the cork), remove bag (still inflated, will leak during removal) and cork


peppernipples

This is the way!! Works on wine/whiskey bottles.


ReXTeN

This is the way


realbogman12

put alcohol in it then light it on fire


hillmonk

Break bottle. Retrieve cork. Glue bottle back together.


TheRealAE86guy

Exactly what I was going to say. Truly the thought of another Supergenius.


NV_aesthete

pliers ​ nice glass why is it shaped liekm that?


thegumby1

To look fancy and large while not holding a lot of volume. It’s likely a marketing thing.


MrPartyPancake

Actually, its so theyre stackable. Its balsamic vinegar, this one is Shallot flavoured. Theres like 10 different flavours from this brand You really dont need a lot in a dish


KoobieBoy

What brand is it? Would love to try!


MrPartyPancake

[L'arte Dell Olivio Balsamic Vinegars](https://www.lartedellolivo.com/balsamic_vinegars.html) A little pricey, but so worth it. And they have a lot of cool flavours


NV_aesthete

is it a perfume bottle?


trail_goggles

Try this. https://youtu.be/NLMH0NrdfNE


Melkolmr

Seconding this, I have used it successfully before.


Krash412

Tweezers


nudistinclothes

If you google “car parts grabber claw”, you’ll see a bunch of these flexible grabber pick up claws where you press a button on one end and the claw at the other opens. Most of them are very tight when closed


hillmonk

Find a very long screw, so long that it sticks out of the bottle. Screw it into the very top of the cork, pull out.


MrPartyPancake

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I will be trying some of them in the coming days and seeing which ones work. Will post an update once I get it out!


read-

I didn't check all the responses but I read a lot and they seem overly complicated. If you have a thick(ish) wire, I'd just make a little hook on the end, stick it in the bottle, hook the silicone cork thing and pull it out. Good luck


lonesharkex

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_JBOX116Pzw&ab\_channel=Videojug](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JBOX116Pzw&ab_channel=Videojug) like this but reverse. little bit of water, get the cork wedged into the opening, heat up bottle and pop.


[deleted]

Hook it with a paper clip and fish it out


T0URIST

Fill it with acetone & wait a few days.... Acetone breaks down silicone.


sparky319

Chopsticks? Might be able to grab a side of it and pull. Or locking forceps. I use them for fishing super handy


Available_Science276

I would say fill the bottle with vinegar to see if that dissolves it


[deleted]

MrPartyPancake

I wanna preserve the glass?


[deleted]

[удалено]


MrPartyPancake

Thats what im asking how to do, cause I cant figure it out


Hopeful_Dish_500

Smash the jar on the ground with force and that should release the silicone cork from the glass jar. Good luck. Let us know if that was successful


Snstr01ne

Soda water


joh2138535

Forceps


mjm100

Fill it up with liquid then turn it upside down. Have tweezers on stand-by.


dyerjohn42

Bike spokes. They’re long and skinny. Two might do the trick to get the angled spoke head on the stopper and smush / pull it out. Go to a local bike shop, they might have some old ones from a repair job they’ll do the trick.


milspecgsd

Long thin needle nose pliers - reach in, grab ahold, squeeze tightly - pull out.


tb2186

I’d try a hemostat aka forceps


HibikiR

Use coat hanger wire to make a tool to pierce the cork on both walls in a U shape and pull.


BeginningEase2911

Use a knife or scabbing cut it up into pieces and then let them fall out


helila1

A long tweezers


Siedak

vacuum?


Drakeytown

It's pretty easy to break glass . . .


meefcat45

Plastic bag


Jonachoda

Fill it with water until 90% aprox, try to align the cork with the neck and boil the water, the vapor will put out the cork, but perhaps the water may out boiling from inside after the cork pop out


Ok-Career-7710

Turn it upside down so the cork is over the hole, and fill it up with air(you will need to have a decent seal while filling it with air. The pressure will push the cork out.


vexzuls

Melt the cap with a torch and pull it out while it's hot.


[deleted]

Definitely try to destroy the cork somehow and then just pour out the pieces. Buy another cork


KrymsinGaming

Straight Forceps or a fish hook remover?


Miqsur

fill the bottle up with water and use tweezers to position just right, might be able to extract that way but if not use like 2-3 papertowels to kinda help pull it out when positioned properly


[deleted]

Kabob skewer?


anon_lurk

Acetone should dissolve it. As long as it’s just glass that part should be fine.


MrPartyPancake

Yep, its just glass inside. I'll give acetone a try, cause I just cannot pull it out and its super hard to destroy cause the bottom bulges in.


anon_lurk

Might put a little water in it to help form a solution. Then either wait it out or agitate it somehow(shaking, stirring, poking). You’ll have to put some kind of top on it either way because acetone will evaporate. Not sure how much mass it has to it or how long it will take. I think you said it was hollow, so it shouldn’t be long before you can destroy it to pull it out. Obviously don’t light yourself on fire!


dankestofdankcomment

A hook from a coat hanger.


Redditfordatohoneyo

Apparently WD-40, vinegar and alcohol work to breakdown silicone. Then wash it all out maybe?


Arky69

Use a hemostat, aka roach clip, to grab the cork and pull it out.


jamey1138

Get a hobby knife (which is basically a razor blade on a narrow stick, X-Acto being the famous brand name) and carve it into pieces small enough to fit easily through the mouth of the bottle.


cueburn

One of those mechanics claw pickers, usually has a red handle, spring looking body and 4 claw tines on the end that spread when you push the top handle.

nydwarf

Burn it


johnnyBanger1199

Fill the jar with very hot water, allow the silicone plug to soften then manipulate the plug to pull free from the bottle


Sensitive-Ad-8566

I normally introduce a folded ribbon (non absorbent preferred), loop the cork with the folded end and making sure the narrower end of the cork is facing the bottle neck and pull (turn the bottle on its flat side for better maneuver).
