Attack of the Eye Dropper

[Aquarius0015]

When I opened bottle of Flourish Excel that I bought tonight, a plastic eye dropper popped up out and scared me half to death! Upon reading the packaging it mentioned the bottle contains an 'enclosed dispenser.' I'm a jumpy person, there should be warning labels or something!

LOL! I have the opposite problem. I know there is a dropper in there, but I can't seem to get the *$#& out in a full bottle - it seems to angle off to the side and won't pop out. I stick my finger inside and try to curl it off to the side to prod the thing, but it just evades me. I usually use an old dropper until the level of the bottle is a touch lower.

Take a large piece of tape and put a small bit of paper on the inside about 1/2 inch wide, tape it to the side of the bottle, over the dropper, so that you can slide the dropper in and out of the holder.

LOL! Same experience here! I've worked in a few chemistry labs, and you don't want anything popping in your eyes there, so I'm very keenly aware if I'm ever without eye protection, and this was one of those times. I doubt if it would be harmful though, a quick rinse would do.
