A Daunting Task

Since the era of consumerism arose, the appearance of food in jars (with tin jar lids) has become a part of everyone’s grocery list. It is nothing new when, on a random night, you find yourself struggling to pry open a jar of pickles or that jar of marinara sauce you saved up for pasta night.

One reason might be the corrosion of the lid that covers the jars, but why should mundane jars take credit for our struggles? Some recommend adding more grip, tapping the lid several times, and even applying heat. There have also been dedicated products that use different mechanisms to open these jars. However, one solution that is worth mentioning is applying a thin layer of Vaseline on the thread edge of your jar.
