Lol. Most of those are in my kitchen. The only thing I can think of is cans of soup like cream of chicken, cream of mushroom etc.

I don’t buy those either. Once in a blue moon will get a ‘chunky steak’ sort of thing but it’s always disappointing.

They are aren't they. My dad called them "untouched by human hands".

Yep. There’s something about tinned or jar cooked things that just isn’t right. Sort of sticky clammy. Need my thesaurus!

It's the surface tension, they are stringy thick. They also use fats that don't melt in your mouth. They are too sweet.

100% on the too sweet. Never found a jar salsa that wasn’t effectively jam.
