I also have the OXO ones. A different brand is shown in the picture but they’re all garbage.
If yours are sealing well, then maybe they recently redesigned the lids. I bought my set in 2021. Do a test for me: take one that is filled with something and then tip it upside down and shake while the lid is sealed. Then report back with the results.
Didn’t actually expect you to do this; nice. Thanks for your contribution to science.
I don’t recognize the bottom two but the top container looks just like one of mine. They definitely redesigned it, cause if I tried that on mine, the top would have fallen right off and the contents would be on the ground.
If you didn’t notice before checking I uploaded a large square one full of greenies dog treats that I could barely palm. You’re welcome, I was motivated to make sure I wasn’t wrong!
Thanks for the update. One last question, to settle an argument with the wife: do you hand wash the containers, or stick them in the dishwasher? And if it’s the dishwasher, what temperature do you wash your dishes at?
I hand wash them. I run my dishwasher after my tap water is fully hot from the water heater (just checked with a thermapen: 129F) and use “Hi Temp” wash (135f (54c) main wash 140f (60c) final rinse) but also use “Sani Rinse” which raises the main wash to 140F and rinse to 156F (69c). I don’t use the dry function, I just open it when it’s done and everything dries really fast.
I don’t put anything in my dishwasher that I wouldn’t put in the oven or microwave.
Edit: other than my tableware and stuff that I wouldn’t put in the microwave just because sparking I meant)
Name of my dog. I put it on there because my groomer lets me take his treats and I guess probably a habit from labeling things my kids would take to daycare and school.

These are the fullest ones I have right now. I keep my flour and sugar in snap lids though. Edit: I shook them all before the picture
Edit2: I filled his greenies one, it was hard for me to palm and shake but I did shake it with two hands upside down before the picture:

I’m not related to this but I appreciate your commitment to following through.
I have the bottom one in several sizes they rock and are the best containers I own. Seal up real good like.
Dang, you keep quality snacks on hand! I hope we’re all invited to the next party at your place!
What is birch?

Yoo is it worth an email to them?
“brbposting on Lemmy loves them so I must have a bad set,” you say, how could they deny you a replacement lid or few to compare?
