  i'm pretty sure that's just a marketing thing as i didn't
notice any real difference between the new and the lids i
had from before.

  yeah, but there's a good chance you'd not want to
eat it (unless it was dry goods or similar).

  i've not noticed anything like that, but i'll keep an
eye out.

  i made a case of pints of those for Mom to use in some
cooking she does and that was two years ago now and she's
not used a single jar yet.  now that it is the colder
part of the year she'll be cooking more so i will have to
remind her to get that recipe out.  it is a kind of meat-
ball with sweet and sour sauce.
