Run lid under hot water then, if you wear rubber gloves, the lid should unscrew: no idea why wearing rubber gloves works, but it usually does.

Have you removed a see-through security strip?
My husband tried to open something the other day with that shrink-wrap thingy still on! 😂

You might need to do it a few times.

Try tapping the lid firmly with a wooden spoon.

Did you run the lid under hot water? That's what I do

The jar I bought a couple of weeks refuses to yield up it's contents - for the life of me I must have tried everything! Warming up the jar, cooling it in the fridge for a couple of hours. A male neighbour tried and gave up, saying "God in heaven - it must be superglued on!"
Indeed. Why do manufacturers do this?
