[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 276647, member: 1969"] I don't like bailtop jars even for kitchen/food stuff...used to keep flour and grain in them, and bugs still managed to find their way in. :| I think what happens is because there's a lever-type action with sealing them, there's more pressure on one side of the seal than the other, and the seals can slip or wrinkle eventually, too. Not to mention, there's always a part of the rubber seal exposed (atmosphere/oxygen, UV, etc) to degrade them. The Ball/Kerr/Mason jars with their unique lids actually seem to protect the seal itself and put even pressure on the lids by simple design. 8) [/QUOTE]
