Reply to Why does tapping on the edge of a stuck jar lid loosen it and make it easier to open? by kisar1
Jars are often sealed with a partial vacuum inside. Tapping can release this vacuum (creating microscopic channels for air to equalise the pressure) thus reducing the friction from the lid being pushed against the body of the jar
