You know that random hair that pokes up on the top of your head? The one that any three year old could point out as the one that is not like the others? It might look like a cartoon wire.
Okay, you want to know what bothers me more than that stray and wilding hair?
I’m telling you anyway.
Some mayonnaise company, that I won’t mention by name, because I don’t have enough time on my hands to appear in court for violating the “broccoli” law, put some ‘easy to open’ jars on the grocery store shelves.
Since my family began buying these plastic jars with plastic lids, I don’t think I’ve ever been able to build a sandwich without depending on the kindness of others.
Something about the molecular make-up of the item makes prying it with a knife ineffective. The opening of the jar is married to the lid no matter how deep the knife goes. It is not air tight, so the change of air pressure isn’t helping in the opening process either. The ridging on the lid is very abrasive and any type of crime committed involving this product is bound to be thick with trace evidence.
The biggest crime committed here, is the marketing of ‘easy to open’ plastic jars of anything. I want my glass jars, and don’t get me started on what I think of squeeze bottle pickle relish!
Till next time, enjoy the offending jar’s mug shot. Also, be advised that all jars are considered innocent until proven otherwise in a court of law.

I can empathize. My issue is with the squeeze and press plastic bottles, i.e., mouthwash. I’ve gone so far as to set the jar on the floor, press down with my palm and twist, with no result. You have to align the cap, press firmly upon the designated slightly raised segments opposite each other, press down and turn.
It was easier to figure out how to get your blog on my WP blogroll ^_^
So Write On!
By the way, I’m just using some extra toothpaste with the ‘old fashioned’ twist off cap on the tube.
