I decided to try something that works on bottles used in the kitchen and found that it also works for juice bottles - even chubby gorillas!

Hold the bottle upside down under running hot water - as hot as you can handle. Keep turning the bottle slowly for a minute. The hot water will make the lid expand. Dry the bottle and open immediately before it cools down. I usually hold it in a kitchen towel while I'm opening it just in case it slips from my fingers.
 
Water restrictions in Cape Town boet :D

I'm a sus, not a boet :--) Yep, I know we've got water restrictions - I'm in Yzerfontein (West Coast). I put a small tub underneath the tap while it's running and use that water for something else.

Apologies sus :)
 
that's a good tip.I would just hold the bottle upside down cut it and decant I to another container.
