Mnemonic

You do this praising in your home (ほう), though, not a church. I don't think anyone outside your home would understand why you're praising inanimate objects.

Hints

If you're going to praise the ingenuity of the invention of the "lid" for its preservation methods, you should definitely do it from home. Or at least from the internet from home. Find your people where you can, you know?
