...so look, all I'm saying, all I'm trying to say, right, is that they shouldn't put the lid on the hot sauce on SO TIGHT that one is forced to use one's teeth to open said lid, right? That's all I'm sayin'...
Sqrl, try a rubber band. Put it on the rim of the lid to give your hand something to grasp; metal is too smooth :) Or use a bit of cloth, like the corner of a dishtowel or your shirt, between your hand and the lid for the same reason.
I know someone who swears by banging the edge of the lid hard on some corner-like surface like the edge of a kitchen counter, but that doesn't work for me.
All that said, I have no clue as to why you'd want to eat hot sauce during a heat wave! :) Is it a sqrl thing? :)
Don't dripper-bottle lids usually have some sort of grooves or a polygonal shape to make them easier to grip? Even if your palms are sweaty, you can usually grip it with your shirt.
(If it wasn't in a dripper-bottle, it's probably not so hot in the first place, you little whiner.)
As an aside, a technique I've found for opening difficult jars or wider-topped bottles (mostly fresh, still-sealed ones; doesn't often help if they're glued shut with gunk) is to hold the bottle upside down in one hand, and repeatedly smack the bottom of it with the palm of the other, listening to the tone of noise the impact makes; after a few hits it'll sound different (kind of more wet) and the jar will be significantly easier to open.
