I love how you gave us gold and the replies are "dur have you tried hitting it?" And "duh have you tried breaking it?" Debate brain rot.

I don't agree. Even with a rubber band you need tremendous force to open a lid like that.

It's much easier to wedge a fork or spoon handle between the lid and the glass to let some air in, after which the jar opens without effort.

I learned to put both my palms around the lid, fingers crossing over my hands and then press hard inwards. This will pop the lid and then you can easily twist it open.

Useful if you don't have any utensil nearby
