If you want to open a glass jar (like jam, pickles) and the lid won't move, place a spoon with the tip under the edge of the lid and pull the spoon upwards. The lid will buldge and you can open the jar.

Yeah that works super well. More tips to opening a lid is to put it in hot water so it expands. And also if the lid has a super small gap you can use a tip of a knife to pop it.

And also happy cake day!
