How much gelato are you all eating?

This is ridiculous - never had a problem until recently. I have tried all of the above but nothing works.

How do I open this jar without melting it???

Get a boyfriend to do it. But getting a boyfriend might be tough if you keep storming through pints of gelato.

What happens if you're the woman who generally always opens the jars that boyfriend/husband/men can't get open?

Ooooh, would you be my girlfriend? You sound very useful.

I'm a salted caramel fan, and have found nothing that surpasses Haagen Dazs salted caramel gelato.

Both neighborhood Giants have stopped carrying it!

I keep trying other brands, but no luck so far. I didn't like the texture of Talenti at all. The jars are great, though!

I use a jar key all the time. Life changing.

Having the same problem in last 2 weeks. They used to have a plastic film sealing the jar under the lid. Maybe the seal helped the lid stay openable. I love Talenti & jars, but srsly leaning toward Haagen Dazs.

I use mine to transport yogurt or liquids to work!

The opposite of the scenarios described in this thread is when i opened juice pouches for two different dads at a kiddie birthday party!

My kids love playing with them at the beach.

A few weeks ago, I walked out of my house with a jar of Talenti and a towel, and walked halfway down the block until I found a guy to hand the jar to. He opened it for me, I thanked him and walked back into my house.

I like them for transporting foods like soups that would leak in something else.

This happened to my husband today! I am so surprised and curious to see that this is a widespread issue!

I hurt my hand and cut it with a knife. The design is horrible. Do they use cheap products. What is this design flaw?

Have one here that DH can't open either. Glad it was a a buy one get one free deal and the other could be opened.
