Stuck jar lid? Use rubber bands to improve your grip
The old stuck pickle jar lid conundrum. What can you do to gain access to those delicious gherkins that give a delectable crunch to every bite of your sandwich? You can run the lid under hot water and wait for it to slowly expand, or you can open it with brute force.
Placing some rubber bands around the lid can help give you a better grip on the lid, which will improve the chances of you popping the lid off in one simple twist. There are companies that sell rubber pads to open stuck jar lids. Forget about that and opt for cheap rubber bands instead.
