Getting the Last out of Bottles and Jars

RE: Getting the Last out of Bottles and Jars Post By Julia (Guest Post) (09/05/2007) When you stated that one would be surprised at just how much is left in bottles and jars which is so difficult to get out, you were telling the absolute truth. I have for years been writing to various food manufacturing and packaging companies suggesting they begin using all wide-mouth glass containers which are totally reusable, and in the long run would save our earth from being buried in landfills and wasting our money as well. By adding water or apple cider vinegar (if you're making salad dressings or BBQ sauce), it's possible to do a better job of getting all you're paying for, otherwise, you just end up tossing out a portion of everything you've already paid for, and having to purchase more. I would far rather pay a few cents more for the product in the first place, and get a decent canning jar or one that can at least be reused while being able to use all the food or condiment in the canning jar type container. Just imagine how many fewer plastic and useless glass containers would not be in the landfills that we hear so much fussing about. Why go to the trouble of recycling when we could make the containers right to begin with? Can you tell that this is a favorite soap-box of mine? I hope so. All the Best, Julia in Orlando, FL
