How to Open a Jar
Some jars are really hard to open. It's not just you. Lifting weights
won't help. They have monster machines to tighten the jars so you'll
never get enough mechanical advantage with just your hands.
* Take a butter knife and tap around lid every couple of inches. Tap hard enough to make a dent in the lid.
* Smack the bottom of the jar with your hand a couple of times. If your hand is precious to you, smack the jar on a counter.
Either one may get the lid off. Together you have an unstoppable lid-getting-off strategy.
Why does this work? My folk physics notion is that the smack on the
bottom breaks any vacuum in the jar that is causing the lid to be
sucked in. And tapping on the lid breaks the seal. But i don't really
know.
