The glue around the rim of the cup is too sticky, so it left behind a layer of cottony paper when the label was ripped off

am I looking at glue that didn’t come off, or something that spoiled because the glue didn’t hold?

Also, this usually only happens when people are in a hurry and pull from the top instead of the bottom where it’s curled around.

You can just see the two shredded sections on the edge where I was deliberately and carefully trying to include all layers and they just tore off instead. I don't know if this is a technique thing, but if it is, I would love to know what I am doing wrong, because it happens to me all the damn time.

It’s not you, it’s the design. The only means of getting a clean top that I’ve found is to split the seal at the middle with a knife and rip outward.

Before dinner I thought it was food, boy do I feel silly.

The bond between the seal and the jar is stronger than the bond between the layers of the seal. So peeling it separates the layers and leaves behind the thin papery final seal layers instead of removing the whole seal.
Dmittedly this is better than the seal on one of my medications. It removes in one pull... if you can find and pull the tiniest sliver of edge of the seal, because they leave zero overhang.
