Boing Boing reader Tyler Bartlett has been trying to understand the odd air pocket in this jar of raspberry jam:
I know this looks like we turned this jam jar upside-down and popped in in the fridge. But we didn’t. My roommate brought this to my attention yesterday, and we have no idea how or why the jam is doing this. It did the floating thing yesterday, and when we had it at room temperature for a minute or so, the jam started to fall to the bottom again. We took it out of the fridge today, and again it floats.
How would you explain this event?
W00t! It’s time for our collaboration with the always intriguing What Is It? Blog. Can you guess what today’s mysterious object is for?

Update 11/27/09 – the answer is: A dust container for a compressed air duster, “used in spraying field and truck crops,” patent number 1,877,778. No one got it right (in time anyhow, there were correct answers posted after the What is it? Blog has posted the answer). Congratulations to two funny guesses who got the prizes instead:
Melphistopheles who said “Jar-Jar” and davisbg who said “Beginner’s Ship-in-a-bottle Kit”
