Default So what do you all think of the new jar lid designs?

I didn't even notice the design. What I did notice was the awful grey goop
that melted when in contact with oil has been replaced with the red rubbery
stuff like the Ball lid has. Now I'll buy Kerr again.

I label the jars. Avery goo will come off by filling the jar with hot water
and using a thumbnail or plastic scrubby thing. I get tired of trying to
write everything I want on the jar by hand and can print enough for a busy
day's output as fast as I could do one by hand.
