Why are pickle jars so hard to open?
In: 0
When you seal pickle jars, you close the lid and heat it up. The air inside expands and leaves through any small cracks between the lid and the jar. Then, when you cool it all down, the air inside shrinks again, but there is less of it, so there is a lower pressure. This causes a lot of friction between the lid and the jar when you try to open it.
