Gravity struck once again.
Isaac Newton and I violently introduced the sugar-shaker to the tile floor once again (note in the photo that the label hadn't even washed off the bottom of the glass yet.
Clearly Isaac and I have a problem.
Rather than buy yet another one (which could be up to $4!) I thought I'd just put the top on another jar. I couldn't find anything that would fit - but we do have tons of canning jars which are just about the right size. I could adapt the cute flipper-sugarhole-lid thingy to a lid and use it on any random jar that I find laying around, which of course Isaac and I will probably destroy again.
I also have a bunch of PE screw-top lids for the jars that are great for storing acidic things like pickles in the fridge. This single-piece design eliminates the seam between the lid and the ring on a typical canning jar that would catch sugar and be messy.
With just a little surgery my frankensugar shaker lives!
