Hmm, i guess i could have said: When did canned drinks start having openings that were wider, yet shorter than the previous standard of taller yet narrow?

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:confused:

you've obviously never tried to scrape the last bit of mayo out of the old round mouth jar and gottenit all over your hand

Thats because I am smarter than the jar. :roll:
Yet the big mouth jar has befuddled you.:p
