Wow. You go through that many jars of Miricle Whip? I like the idea.
I was wondering if my wife (since I don't like mayonnaise) would even
go through one jar before Pennsic. In a group, these jars with screw
lids have advantages, since almost anyone can tell how to close a jar
with a screw lid, whereas some of those plastic box type containers
can be surprisingly difficult to get completely sealed, even if you've
worked with that particular brand before.

And many of the plastic storage containers don't seem to seal very
well.

I've seen glass wide-mouthed canning jars. I don't imagine they make
these in plastic, though. :-(
