Jar Opener

 

 

A couple of years ago I flew from Bonita Springs Florida to Sun City, Arizona and took the SRES - Seniors Real Estate Specialist Course by SAREC.  It was very informative and I learned a lot about marketing to Seniors and products  and services that benefit our aging population of Baby Boomers

Shall we say say I've celebrated my 18th birthday a couple times... I'm not a eligible for AARP, but I've noticed an increasing issue with getting jars and bottles open.  I have actually even called my son to come by to pop a lid on his way to work. 

I've dragged my feet a bit, but I think it's time for professional help.  

I'm an excellent candidate for an electric jar opener.  In my research I found this little beauty.  It looks very fashionable, but I think it's missing an important feature.  The bottle opener.  I drink a lot of pint or quart bottles of water.  I often grab one on my way out the door.  I'd like to, at least, break the seal before I leave the house.

I feel compelled to buy fashion over function, but the functions of the Lids Off® Open-It-All® Center have really swayed me.

Chris ~ What a great tool to have around the kitchen.  Normally I use my husband for opening jars etc. but this item would certainly be awesome for those tough to open jars when he's not around.

I can think of at least 6 seniors that would really appreciate this...thanks for sharing!

Chris: I just smack the jar firmly down lid first on the counter, and turn it back rightside up, and it opens without a battle. If that fails, I merely fling the jar against a handy brick wall, and after straining the glass shards out, I'm goog to go!

Hi Chris - My parents are both in their 70's and would probably appreciate something like this. Welcome to the SRES Group! I'm looking forward to all of us sharing and implementing ideas for the senior market.
