I like these but I'm having a problem with them sticking together when refrigerated. I cannot separate them without tearing them. Any suggestions?

I have this problem too :( The only thing that's worked for me is letting it warm up a little first. Maybe try microwaving for a few seconds?

I have the same problem. I find if you freeze them and gently separate them while frozen then refrigerate, it works better

Try letting them get to room temperature and then put wax paper or parchment paper in between them. I portioned every meal days in advance so I never encountered that problem. I hope this helps.

I usually store the jars upside down & then stir well after I open the jar. Once it's stored in the refrigerator after opening, it doesn't seem to separate.

we used to store for days in the freezer with no problem. The only issue we have is that they are pretty fragile - one drop on the floor and they will be done. I have re-ordered though overall satisfied.

Bob I have had my spacers for a year or so and I do not recall any glue holding them together. Just to be sure I rounded up the spacers and rechecked. There just isn't any glue evident. If they are glued together then something has changed in the shipping dept. As I recall (vaguely) my spacers were shipped in a small box segregated by cardboard spacers but no glue. If they are stuck together with glue I would suggest returning them to Amazon with a description of the problem. Sorry I can't give you any concrete advise.

I didnt have that problem. However, I do keep my pills refrigerated as suggested. Maybe that would help.

I have kept mine for long periods of time - and they are great. . . key seems to be keeping the moisture at bay. I vacuum sealed mine for keeping but probably not necessary if you seal them well and store in a dry place. You will love these little gems. :)

I just wedge them between different items in my freezer. It is nice because the small spaces are easier to find. But even when they tip, the lids keep the liquid in.

I have not tried to put them in the freezer. I am writing this to you as I sit next to the pile of used ones that need to be heated again to make them liquid, they become solid after use. That pile has been there for several weeks. Really not worth the money. I would not buy these again, they are a total pain. If after you heat them if there is even one crystal left, this can be very hard to see, they will just reheat when you take them out of the hot water and you are stuck heating them again to reset. They do not stay warm for nearly long enough to make them worth it. I would strongly urge you to skip these and go with an old fashioned water bottle. Sometimes an oldie is a goodie.

You probably could have put them in the refrigerator instead! You could have reshaped before chilling. I would call the manufacturer or the seller and have them replaced. I never had this problem.

I have not experienced that happening. Actually my experience is the opposite; I have to throw them out before they deteriorate.

I don't have an absolute answer. I'd just try to pull on one side, then another, etc. Hope you can get them apart soon. If not, I'd send them back. They should have had something between them to keep them separate.

I'd ask the manufacturer or seller. I am guessing it has something to do with the preservative seperating?

I have had that issue as well with more of the yogurt and fruit mixes. I haven't had an issue with any others though. However, I don't know why it's happened with some and not others. I just let it melt a bit and got them out and chopped up to put in a bowl.

Yes, unopened is absolutely the best way because they don't last super long otherwise (ask me how I know). I am almost 100% sure they do not have to be refrigerated while still unopened.

I have never had them stick together because of static. They do heat up differently than paper. a stack of them are hot fresh off the press. can you try a different printer?

I have noticed that there is "residual" ice flakes in the seems of these after a use. Therefore, rinse them off with water to melt away the residual, wipe off the excess water. put them together and put water in it. careful not to squeeze too hard which will allow the seems to get filled up with water (causing that line or crack). allow several hours to completely freeze.

I have noticed this also. I now keep mine in an air tight container and it seems to help.
