I had that very problem with the snap lid on Old Bay last night. I wiped it

A helpful hint: Take the toothbrush from someone you don't like all that much and brush it thoroughly to remove all traces of te offending nastyness. There's no real need to rinse the tootbrush when you finish because you will be using the brush of someone you don't like all that much.

If I did this, I wouldn't brag to them what I had done. It would great fun to watch them later, when they brushed their teeth.

Then there’s the bigger problem of quality. Light fades the color of spices so putting Cajun seasoning in clear plastic jars can affect the appearance of the product.

Nothing like reaching for the Tony's in the clear container, but accidentally grabbing the cayenne. You can tell you messed up from the first shake.

Creole/Cajun spice blends are made from a variety of spices, herbs, peppers, and other seasonings, many of which don't keep well for long periods of time. This means that creole/cajun spice blends are best when purchased just before use, but that most of them will go bad before the end of a year. So the seasoning companies package the spice in small containers with flip top lids to help reduce the shelf life. But, if you buy the creole/cajun spice blends in bulk, they come in resealable plastic containers. This keeps the seasoning fresher for a longer period of time and helps stop the spice from spilling all over the place when you open the container.
