I thought it was Mt. Dew who did it first, followed by everyone else.

WTF are you talking about

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I thought they've had wide openings for years now.

He's talking about the wide-mouth can openings most sodas/beers have now these days.

The opening on the top of the can. It used to be taller than it was wide, now it is wider than it is tall.

My question is this...

Why did the mayonnaise jar openings become so huge. They now have wide mouth jars on some brands. Is that so we can dip our sandwhich in it
