Who knew there was so many hidden gems over where I can't read them. Amazing work. +1

(account deleted)hilarious!
NOTE: I think there's a 'direction' mistake: jars normally open by turning the lid to the LEFT, so this anomalous one opened by turning it to the RIGHT. apparently you mentioned these the other way around.
Where I live, Argentina, and the rest of Latin America the jars open to the right and close to the left. I don't know how the matter is in the USA or Europe
Oh, I had absolutely no idea!
I thought driving rules where all that differed around the world!!
I'm wondering if there isn't a language/cultural difference here rather than a physical one.
Screws, lids, faucets, etc. almost universally open counter-clockwise and close clockwise, no matter where you are1- but clockwise can be described as turning to the right or the left depending on whether you're focusing the near or far side of the lid.
I read an interesting article a little while back about how this confusion has rendered pretty much all data on whether dolphins favor a spinning direction useless, so it's not an isolated thing.
Footnotes
1. tanks for dangerous gasses, for instance, are often threaded in reverse so that you can't connect them to standard piping
You're probably right.
I highly doubt that manufacturers that distribute products worldwide would produce two different kinds of packaging depending on where the product is shipped!
Well, as lids open counter-clockwise, your turn them to the left, but if you focus on the direction the JAR is moving, well, the jar is turning to the right… I guess that's it!
It was already funny enough, but then you had to make that ending hit so personally. +1
