My parents gave me a magnetic spice jar in my stocking this year, as a tester to see if they'd work for me (instead of the giant useless bag of spices I currently have), and it's great. So I bought some more. I'm having a terrible time getting the stickers off the (magnetic) back, though. I found that when I left the sticker on, the jar stuck to the fridge, but peeling off the stickers hasn't really worked either. Anyone have any great ideas for getting the stick off something? I tried nail polish remover, but it just smeared it around.

If I ever get these to work, they're going to be so awesome. But right now they're just annoying and in the way. :P

Here in the US we have a product called "Goo Gone" which is quite effective at getting the sticky stuff off of things. WD-40 might also help. And since oily things seem to take it off, you might try a bit of vegetable oil just to see that moves things at all.

And there's always just soaking it in soapy water...

I started with the soapy water, and I really thought it got everything, but they all dried with a sticky layer left. Boo! I might try the vegetable oil, though, for starters, since I actually have some here. Thanks!

Yes, try Goo Gone!
