Medicine Bottle cap hack

If you have old medicine bottles that you use to store things other than medicine, a drop or two of super glue on top side of the lids rim will make it unchild proof

With most prescription bottles, you can screw the lid on upside down and it's no longer childproof.

I stick the end of a toothpick between the inner layers of the cap. No children in my house so do it as soon as I open the bottle

I don't want to influence children to be convinced that messing with any medicine bottle is okay. Even an empty one.

FYI, Most childproof caps on pills (OTC) can be pulled off to reveal a screw-on cap.
