**Opening a Pickle Jar** is the 14th episode in the series.

## Plot synopsis

Buttered Side Down is just making a sandwich, until he gets out an unopen pickle jar. When he tries to open it, it refuses to open. Here are the following events of what Buttered does to get the pickle jar open:

* Use the peen/claw of a hammer to wedge the lid out
* Smash the lid with its face, which bends the hammer
* Use a buzzsaw to saw open the jar, which results in the blade flying into a nearby wall
* Blowtorch the lid open, causing the area on the desk and around the jar to catch on fire, before going to the storage room to grab a fire extinguisher, before putting out the fire by pounding the extinguisher on it.
* Hack it open using a computer, causing the computer to short circuit

Finally having enough, Buttered takes a bowsaw from the storage room, and starts sawing the jar upside down. During this, the jar finally opens and all the pickles and the juice comes out. Nonetheless, Buttered places all the pickles into the sandwich and sits down, before trying to open a bag of chips, which he then struggles with as well. (he was holding it the wrong way, that's why it isn't opening!)

### Behind the Scene Notes

* The pickle jar was actually easy to open in reality, as Creator 2 was actually exaggerating to struggle and open it in the video.
* The Creators mentioned that the hammer was later reused in Playing Tic Tac Toe.
* Creator 2 explains that the bent hammer, was actually a prop 3D printed with the texture of the actual hammer, in which they then bent its head up afterwards.
* The blade did not fly into the wall, and was already pre placed there, as Buttered Side Down was pretending to saw the lid, before looking over to his left.
* The Creators revealed that they couldn't find the blowtorch, and had to film that specific day. So they found another object remotely similar to a blowtorch handle, and edited the tip and fire onto it.
* The fire was created from Creator 1 spraying flammable gas onto it and lighting it with a lighter.
* The pickle jar opening scene took two tries according to the Creators, as the first time, Creator 1 attempted to open the jar, but only the juice came out without the pickles. Creator 2 then attempted to shake out the pickles before Creator 1 pounded the bottom, which made all the pickles come out. Creator 1 hand on the second take was then edited out later.
* A deleted ending was revealed, where Buttered Side Down would take a bite out of the sandwich, before finding a hair (which was actually a thread) in there. This was later scrapped due to it not looking like a strand of hair, and that the creators thought it was lame and unfunny.

## Trivia

* **Irony:** Buttered Side Down should have used the hammer to smash the glass jar instead of trying to use it on the lid. Although he may have not wanted glass shards in his sandwich if done so.
