Can we get some threads back on the peanut butter lids?

Maybe it's just me. Or maybe it's just JIF. But the lids on my PB jars now require just a quarter turn to close... but it takes a few tries and then I have to do it again because I'm not sure if the lid actually closed or not. I'm sure they're saving a lot of $$$ because of that change.

Also... the seals on bags of chips. Used to be about 1/2" wide... now they've narrowed it to about 1/8" and they easily tear.

Or maybe it's just me.

because I think it taste better. Maybe because it has a little more sugar? But I just went and tried the lid and your right it "catchs" with a little turn but then screws at least a full turn and definitely will not come off?

Just don't get in a hurry (it's hard because the PB is so good) and I think it will be alright. BTW - my favorite snack is a PB fold over on oat nut bread! ☮

As for chip bags, I always very carefully squeeze the bag to verify that it is sealed before I put it in the buggy. If it's not sealed when I get it out at home, I know it must have been the bagger at the store that caused it, and it goes back. The thin seal makes it easier to open it the way I prefer, by pulling apart in the middle of the top seal. Always open the top of the bag, or sooner or later, you'll pick up a bag and dump it because you opened the wrong end.

They’ve really messed up the threads on my bottle caps too. WTF? And my juice bottle lids are so tight I need my channel locks to remove them.
