Like everyone else, I often stack similar sized plastic buckets,
but, over time, they almost always become close to impossible
to pry apart without excessive force and undue swearing.

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 have not tried it, but saw that if you take a piece of tubing around 1/4
inch in diameter and long enough to go from the bottom to the top of the
bucket with an inch or so longer, that would break the vacuum seal. You put
it in the bucket before stacking them.
