Kitchen knife underside of the lid also works, just a tiny bend,(not so much you actually bend the knife or the lid..) releases the pressure. But I never go for those sissy methods. Real men use the muscles

mmmmm....Rachel.

My Mum's classic method: hold a standard stainless steel knife (not a steak knife!) by the blade, and rap the lid a few times all around with the handle. You just need something with a little weight to it to dent the lid slightly at the edges and release the pressure.

*calls for husband*

always used the bicyclerepairman's method, way better than turning it upside down and whacking it...that chicks' simply bonkers...

God guys... knives and shit? That's asking for a lost finger. I use Physics 101, jar top under hot water expands the top and allows it to open. Though most of the time, towel for traction works too.

what? they're clapping because she opened a jar? was it even stuck?

pshhhhaa ... I was waiting for breaking glass... this is... _informational_...

Gordon Ramsay opens stuck jar lids with his teeth.

That's exactly what I was going to post plastiquemonkey

DEAR GOD! American audiences will applaud ANYTHING! "She opened a jar!" Oh Wooo! Wooo! Look at that!

I've actually noticed a few celebrities when they're on Australian TV seem to feel a little let down when the audience doesn't applaud some dumb arsed comment or the like they make when on one of our talkshows.

You guys do know that those audiences are paid for, usually very enthusiastic people who are in awe of the show or such. All paid.

There is a large sign that says applause to liven up what really is a dull television show.

This is so F&@#&^ awesome. Oh that I could be in the audience to lend my hearty applause to this exhibition of talent. She had me at the first jar and by jar number 3 I tell you I am still riding high on the adrenaline rush. YES rachel YES bang it hard baby and lets all watch it gently screw off. I heard she finished this by telling every audience member to look under the seat and she GAVE them each a Boskovitch Farms rubber band.

this will soon be irrelevant. in the future we will eat everything from toothpaste tubes.

audiences are not paid for ... anyone can write for free tickets to any talk show (ellen, martha, rachel, leno, letterman, etc ... ) they DO, however, have someone holding a sign that says: APPLAUSE!!! at the appropriate times ...

yes...mmmm Rachel... *runs to get his box of Wheat Thins*

I'd like to open her jar.

spoco2: *applauds*

> I'd like to open her jar.

Bang her on the counter?

I use a rubber band around the top!


double entendre!
