Mrs. S bought me a Chupa Chup "tree" for xmas.

Why are they impenetrable? The wrapper is tighter than a gnat's chuff !

Without resorting to a thermic lance or angle grinder, how do you get into these things?

TBH, it may not be a bad thing as they are sugar free and result in serious windypops.

Twist wrapper the opposite way it was wrapped and it expands...then just rip it off...

Edit - just read the sugar-free bit - those were never intended to be anything more than a decoration, just leave them as they are! Also consider a divorce as I'm not sure your wife loves you!!! 🤣

If they don't twist open then resorting to teeth is the only resort.

Find a passing 5 year old. Their strong nimble fingers will unwrap that in seconds

Yes I do, they're infuriating little sods.

Sharp knife round the base of its head, pull the skin on the head up and the neck skin down.

Sorted.

I think the point of the exercise is to eat it, not circumcise it.

Also a knifer here.

Alternatively, leave the wrapper on. They last longer that way.
