After baking a cheesecake, my husband cut off the top to the lemon juice container. It turns out that the resulting plastic container creates the perfect jug-like instrument. Because it is plastic you can easily squeeze the “lemon” to create different sounds. Just like a real jug instrument, you can also add water to make different notes. I wonder if you can add holes to create a ocarina-like instrument? Perhaps that will be another post… Cutting off the top is easy. You can use a kitchen knife or other cutting utensil. Just be careful! To play, simply purse your lips and blow air across the top hole.
That’s it for a handy tip on one way to reuse lemon juice containers. Have fun and send in pictures or links to videos of your results.
