Does anybody know how to open stubborn pickle jars?

Imagine not getting to your pickles for a couple of weeks, that must be a rather jarring experience and you'd probably be hearing this in your head the whole time while your brain turns into a pickle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2VJnjVe7NE

If you will try to bend the lid a little to let air in, use a spoon, not a knife. You can't cut yourself very bad with a spoon...

...Short of breaking the glass, of course.

I just want my pickles... :((

Pickle is going donuts since I bought this.

Price is not good on Amazon, you can buy one at cheaper price on the internet.

Pickle Jar still at 0 since.

Just yesterday, I had to open a new jar of jalapeno slices, and of course the lid was stubborn. I reached for my trusty rubber jar opener, and presto! I don't know how we managed before these things were invented. (I have a couple of spares in the package just in case I ever wear out the one I'm using.)

Update on the pickles:

They're too sweet :( But eh after all the work I spent opening them, I'm going to finish the jar!

For all the people still offering advice - thank you so much! However, please refer to #29 - five days ago the pickle jar was finally opened, and my pickle nightmares stopped lol :))

Maybe this will help with the pickle jar.

Soy Sauce bottle had been unopened in the fridge for a while. The sauce had forged a bond with the cap.

I got a very tight grip around the cap with a microfiber cloth and was able to remove it.

I would suggest the “Significance of the Pickle” song by Arlo Guthrie. Also known as the Motorcycle Song.

Have you tried flattery? Put the pickle jar at eye level and say, "You are the best-est pickle in the whole wide world". It works every time.
