Like everyone else, I often stack similar sized plastic buckets,

There must be a simple "trick" that prevents them from sticking
so tightly that one has to bang and curse to pry them apart.

What "trick" do you use to keep your plastic buckets from
sticking together?

I'd throw out the buckets I don't need. Stacked like that,
only one is in use.

Another solution would be putting something in the way
so they don't air seal. Anything, a rag, some folded paper,
a short stick, or something larger in the bottom of the bucket.
