Smack the edge of the lid on the counter. Works for me every time, including a jar of garlic stuffed olives just this morning.
But what if I simply open it with relish?
“Smack the edge of the lid on the counter. Works for me every time, including a jar of garlic stuffed olives just this morning.”
That’s what I did last night to a jar of drunk pickles.
Tapping the lid part on the counter top was my go-to method until we got the kitchen renovated. The first time I smacked the jar lid on the new stone counter I heard a gasp and turned to see the First Mate glaring at me. “If you crack my new countertop, you are a dead man!” Since I cannot use the new wooden flooring, I now step out into garage and tap the lid on the concrete floor. It takes a moment longer but neither my life nor my manhood is in peril.
