I am embarrassed to say that my wife was able to open it. I must've loosened it for her. Yeah, that's it.

And no, my wife is not Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Claussen pickles should never be heated. OP, you did buy Claussen's, didn't you?

They were small Gurken Prinz gherkins from Burgenland, Austria. I hadn't tried these before but I like them. Mix of sour and sweet, with onion, mustard seed, and peppercorns in the bottle.

I definitely don't need 1.5 L of it though, but that's Costco for ya.

Ugh... I hate sugar in pickles. I somewhat recently made the mistake of seeing German pickles at BigLots, getting excited, and buying them without reading the ingredients; Sugar! I should have known better. Germans might be worse than Americans for making everything sweet. My most recent purchase was Texas Maid(?) medium sized gherkins, and they were pretty good. I also like Maille tiny gherkins, but they're spendy. Claussen is the reliable brand you can get just about anywhere.
 
I'm in Canada, and Claussen is an American brand, so I haven't seen them much up here.

I like sour pickles but also like a bit of sweetness. The latter may be a bit odd for me, because I really dislike sugar in other stuff like tomato sauce, peanut butter, and coffee.

EDIT:

On second thought, I think I'd prefer a little less sugar in these ones. A little sugar is fine, but too much takes away from the taste.

This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. Never saw this Alex Jones moron before.

I still have my step-sisters bread and butter pickle recipe I need to try out to make my own. I just asked her for it last week.

She used to work awhile in Red Golds R&D department for things pepper related, she sent me a jar once and I thought they were some of the best pickles I ever had.

She was always pretty hot, was the Prom Queen/Valedictorian in High School, I love her but always seemed a bit weird kind of having the hots for my step sister.

She seemed to feel the same way, but we just always kept it at a hanging out level 😛

One of her Blonde Swedish friends was a total knockout that was captain of the cheerleaders back then. She even lives down here in New Port Richey I think.

I made my own pickles this summer. Even pickled some green tomatoes. Not sweet, because I didn't add sugar. But lots of herbs to flavor them. Rosemary, basil, dill and thyme. Also garlic, onions and peppercorns. And I had no trouble opening the jars.
 
I never knew that opening a jar of pickles shows how healthy you are...
Now, if you can open a 25 lb bucket of pickles with only your hands...now we are talking!

You did try to tap the side with the opposite end of a butter knife? Just don't break the glass if you do this in the future.

Tapping with a knife never works for me. I usually will use a jar opener like this:

...which works well for the jars of Kirkland artichokes I get from Costco. However, it was too small for this 1.5 L jar of gherkins.

Well, I can honestly say I did not expect the thread to go this direction. 😵
