How the fuck did you get the smell out of a pickel jar?
I have pickel jars in the barn that have had rusty nails, bolts and whatnots in them for years, and I can still smell the vinegar or whatever it is in the rubber seal on the lid.
I basically robbed a dude at a yard sale years ago, guy had some old vintage blue glass 1 quart jars for sale for 25 cents a piece! I took them all, over 80 of them. Apparently the day before someone bought over 200. His wife was big into gardening and canning. She had been canning and giving it away for decades he said, and everyone always returned the jars so she filled them back up and sent them back out again the next year.
And now I put weed in them, lol.
