Heres a tool dedicated to that problem, also for commercial foods that are tough to open.

They also have spice jar sized measuring spoons.

I've still had no luck opening my jar. I'll have another go at it next weekend, when I have some more time for the fight.

Have you tired running hot water over the lid? The hot water will make it expand, so it may come off easier.

Let us know if you've had any luck with this.

That was the first thing I tried, to no avail. I will give the prying a try over the weekend, but I'm afraid I may break the glass jar.

All I can say is that must be some awfully tasty stuff inside that jar to spend this much time trying to get at it.

Man, I'd have thrown that jar out weeks ago by now!
