when opening a jar
of instant coffee for the first time the only way I can break the foil cap is to hit it with the back of a teaspoon, and it has to be done with the 'football chant rhythm'
"da da dadada dadadada daDA"
with an emphatic last "DA" breaking the foil.

I've done this as long as I can remember, I can't open instant coffee any other way. CDO FTW.

i do similar...but no chanting.
plus I have to remove all the foil. Same with butter/margarine tubs - I hate when the foil gets left on and people dig in one half of the tub with a knife, instead of taking evenly across the tub......grrrrrr.

I don't actually chant
that would be plain silly, just bash the foil with the teaspoon to that rhythm.

Yes I hate bits of foil being left on too.

I always have to sy the word "Fot" when opening a new coffee
...ever since the NOT! 1981 calendar included that word definition, it just seems like the perfect onomatopoeia.
