Have you ever shut the hell up? That's funny coming from the guy that post the most inane comments on the Campfire.

I'll bite. How do you break a thumb opening a jar of kraut? What did you open it with? ![[Linked Image from static.tvtropes.org]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gordon_crowbar_5.png)

The jars are too fat to get a decent grip on, and the lids are sealed on tighter than on any other product. The torque of trying to twist the list working against holding the fat jar from slipping puts a lot of stress on the jar thumb.

May need to stick a strap wrench in the kitchen junk drawer. ![[Linked Image from images.thdstatic.com]](https://images.thdstatic.com/productImages/99b5fb40-7ca5-4d38-91bb-4b73f4e028c3/svn/ridgid-pipe-hangers-42478-64_1000.jpg)

You could injur the first metacarpal ulnar collateral ligament. That hurts like a be-otch. Unlikely you would tear it which would be a surgical problem.

I remember the days there was not a jar lid I could not defeat in hand-to-hand combat.
Now I give it a go, but if unsuccessful, I use a bottle opener to put enough torque under the lid to pop the seal. Easy after that.
Hope you’re ok John.
