A viral trick circulating online shows how to repurpose plastic lids from grated Parmesan cheese containers into makeshift drink lids for Mason jars. The method, popularized by a recent video, involves cleaning the lid (which users suggest doing thoroughly) and fitting it directly onto a wide-mouth Mason jar.
The repurposed lid functions similarly to lids designed for tumblers, allowing for drinking directly from the jar or using a straw through the designated holes. While the seal isn’t airtight or insulated, the hack provides a free and accessible way to turn Mason jars into convenient drink containers.
This upcycling method reduces waste by giving Parmesan lids a second life instead of discarding them. If you already use Mason jars and purchase grated Parmesan, it’s a cost-effective alternative to purchasing specialized lids. The trick has gained traction for its simplicity and resourcefulness.
By re-using Parmesan lids, you can effectively turn any Mason jar into an on-the-go tumbler without spending extra money or contributing to waste.
