Dr. Dolphin's Wine Bottle Experiment - Finally!!

Okay ladies, you asked for it! Dr. Dolphin completed the scientific experiment: Can you really open a wine bottle without a corkscrew, using a shoe???

I had assistance from my sons Sean (videographer) and Ryan (shoe donater) and from my husband ("hit it harder on the corner"). This video was taken July 4 at my son's house; the jets you hear flying over were on their way to a special Independence Day event.

Check it out and let me know what you think!!

That was hilarious and I'm so glad I didn't try it. So NOW we know. Use your teeth. Hey DD, could you show us how to open it with your teeth? Ahhh, come on!

Thanks, Doctor Dolphin.

This shall go down in history as the whining wall phenomenon. A round of applause for Dr. Dolphin and your handsome assistants.

Yeah, yeah yeah!!!!

I heard if you take a dozen packed eggs, and slam them against the wall…they won’t break.

I love your hair, Dr. Dolphin. You could use the egg yoke for shampoo….That was a yoke…ah joke…Dr. Dolphin? Are you turning the computer off? No no….jeez.

Very entertaining...it would never have occurred to me to even try to open a bottle of wine with a shoe. I know it's impossible to buy corkscrews and/or bottle openers where we go in Cuba, so it would have been real handy if this had worked.

Funny video!

Maybe if you already finished the first bottle, this would be a good idea to help you sober up between quaffs.

Okay doctor DD and the engineer! Sorry it didn't open but it was a fun video to watch. Nice seeing hubby and son! Enjoyed!

That was fun! Thanks for trying, and sharing your experience via the video. I hope you found a corkscrew so you could finally enjoy the wine!

There must be a trick to that idea of putting wine in a shoe and
banging on a wall. It's magic!

Hi everyone, Dr. Dolphin here. Thanks for checking out the video - we had fun making it.

I think that the issue is with the "cork". The cork in the bottle we used wasnt' really cork, more of a compressed styrafoam type of material. I'm wondering if it needs to be real cork to be able to slip loose and come out.

We're going to a family reunion at the end of this month. Maybe we'll have a "wine bottle opening" competition! Sounds more fun to me than a watermelon seed spitting contest.

Sounds like a good idea to me!

I think those seed spitting contests are gross!

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed seeing you and your handsome boys. Who cares if the experiment didn't work. We got to see your family in action. Woohoo!

I agree!
