Default Is there a 'magic' solution for dissolving labels on glassware?

ROUND 2:

My new favorite method of removing the labels and glue from
Costco gummy vitamin plastic jars is this process:

a) Soak in a soapy solution of dish detergent (24 hours)
b) Scrape off the paper label with my fingernails
c) Douse in gasoline for a minute or two
d) Wash in laundry detergent or tri-sodium phosphate

Since the gasoline necessitates being outside, here'
