or unscrew a jar?

Just made myself a snack of Nutella and peanut butter graham cracker sammiches and noticed I held the lid and turned the jar.
Is that normal?

















You thought this was about something else? :embarassed:

    You can screw a jar; but like so many things in life, you can't unscrew it. You can unscrew the lid though...

    I like how Erin does it...but I'm an equal opportunity type guy, and not overly picky.

    So long as you put a lid on it before the screwing happens, it doesn't matter HOW it happens, just enjoy the taste.

    Banging it on the edge of the countertop can help get it off too.

    I usually use protection when SCREWING..ahemm..I mean un-SCREWING..like grabbing a cloth to get more grip!

    I like to get a good grip from the top, sometimes with some rubber under my hand, and squeeze that sucker tight.






    Then I twist the jar, too.

    I go both ways... I hold the jar and the lid and twist both. :)

    I loosen it up gently from the bottom of the lid and progressively move up the lid with the hard and fast pulls of my hand and then when the lid is finally undone I slide my hand In there and play around with the jar for a bit...

    I do it from both ends, like a super-spy cracking someone's neck.

    Rubber always helps open a tight lid

    I agree...everything worth screwing/unscrewing should at some time go in your mouth.

    Perhaps the warm wetness helps make it come undone. :smile:
