What Is the Fruit Cup and Mason Jar Hack?
Durigon says she actually discovered this hack by accident.“When my kids were little, I used to use the empty fruit cups for kids’ paint projects and even to separate small pieces of LEGOs," she tells Parade. "One day, I was washing a bunch of Mason jars and my son came to me with a paint-stained plastic cup. I rinsed it under the sink and it fell onto the Mason jar in the sink… falling perfectly into the opening… and voila!”That’s when she realized this “happy accident” could be used in the kitchen too. The fruit cup was the perfect fit for the wide-mouth Mason jar, which meant she could use the Mason jar lid and ring to attach the fruit cup on top to store foods that you'd like to keep separate from what's in the jar (think hummus and pita chips, and yogurt and granola).
Place the jar's flat lid insert on top of the filled fruit cup, with the shiny metal side facing the inside of the fruit cup (the white side with the rubbery ring around it will be facing up). Set the fruit cup on top of the jar and secure it in place with the Mason jar ring. The insert lid holds everything tightly, keeping the two compartments separate until you’re ready to mix or eat.

This hack solves one of the biggest problems with packing snacks and lunches: sogginess. Crackers stay crunchy, granola doesn’t get mushy and salad dressing doesn’t leak all over the place. It’s also eco-friendly because it reuses fruit cups that would otherwise get tossed.
Durigon notes that she still uses this hack regularly, long after her kids have grown up.
