Ah yes, the small cottage company Signature Select, flagship brand for Albertsons stores, with over 8,000 products spanning pantry goods, frozen foods, snacks, coffee, paper goods, produce, deli items and more — available at Albertson's, Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco, Shaw’s, Acme, and others.
Ironically enough, the fact the production is done by a huge corporation is why they use these lids. They've looked at the numbers and have found it's cheaper to use one type of lid, even if the lid isn’t well suited for bay leaves. Keeping a stock of alternate lids and potentially causing production line downtime by changing equipment to suit the other lid would add cost.
Because the brand you bought doesns't manufacture multiple lids for that bottle size. And doing so would lead to an increase in the price of that product by a pretty substantial amount of money.
The concept of how it would work is, either you build a separate lid production line that makes that lid which increase the costs of the lids 2x, now you have 2 production lines and 2 products and costs go up accordingly.
if they dont produce the lids in house then they have to buy a second kind of lid which increases their costs at time of ordering by 2x for lids. If this is the case they can only buy lids in mass amounts from whoever does manufacture said lids.
TLDR: You bought the cheapest brand available and you got cheap packaging, what more would you expect?
They slready have caps mad for all the other spices, theres no need to retool a cap-making facility to make new caps for one product in a line of products.
People simply don't buy bay leaves often enough for it to be worth buying a pallet of different lids for the jars that already come with lids like this.
If you can convince everyone you know to buy 100 of these jars every year and then put forward a case that the lids aren't ideal, that might work
Yes, they exist of course. However when you purchase these jars typically they come palleted with lids. An extra variety of lid is considered an unnecessary cost when their main seasoning products are those that fit through these tiny holes I'm afraid.
I also do not buy them for my stuff, but very rarely does anyone want to buy a tub of bay leaves from me anyway.
Standard spice packaging, no need to design a completely new lid just to keep guys from posting why on reddit.
Nope. If you wait ten years, you can use the holes
But why male models?
mer-MAN!
Are you serious?
You probably think I don't know what a eugoogly is
You gotta shake weight the hell out of it first. Presto change-o!
Your dog looks like he got blamed for it.
Same reason there’s braille on drive through atms.
Cause fuck you chef, that’s why. Merry Christmas
YES CHEF!
This is the correct answer.
Might be a litle buisness. Not worth it buying something especialy to sell baie leaf. Especialy where you make almost no money on it

What do these things do again. What do they taste like.

To save money and time.

You just need to shake REALLY hard. Something will come out eventually.
Because people suck

Might i suggest an open mouth lid? Already a common lid type
I agree. We could get this changed before the new year. Reddit Strong!
Bro just shake it harder

Is it that hard to screw the lid off?
