Drinking from jars

[Anonymous No.4388220]

My friend drinks from jars and I drink from cups. Is there any practical reason to drink from a jar instead of a cup?

[Anonymous No.4388223]

you can put a lid on it

Yes, people say "oh, I see you are drinking from a jar!"
And then a conversation starts. Human animals find appeal in such trinkets and social adornments.

Its bigger

and you can put a lid in it

also since its probably has thicker glass it retains the heat/cold of the drink better

My husband and I drink from mason jars. We have never had a regular set of glassware. Maybe it's a southern thing? We also can a bunch of food during the summer. As that food gets eaten, the jars need to be stored somewhere. So we just use them as drinking glasses. My grandmother also did this, so maybe that's why it seemed a normal thing to do.

That depends on your cup or jar though. Some cups are larger than jars, and sometimes the opposite is true.

Seen it in Vermont and eastern Oregon. Think it's just a rural thing, though I do get the impression the South is the biggest proponent.

I haven't seen a cup as large as a jar as everyday cups besides goblets maybe

preserves come in tiny little jars, perhaps only 8 oz capacity.

ever see a fast-food cup? 32oz, 48 oz, perhaps even more.

It was a rural thing once upon a time. Those who had the money to entertain concerned themselves with which for went with which course and which was the proper glass for which beverage. Those who worked the land for a living may have been lucky enough to inherit grandma's silver and crystal, but they'd only whip it out on special occasions. Day to day frugality did not require the purchase of drinking glasses because any farmhouse worth its salt had plenty of canning jars around. Drinking from a fruit jar became a symbol of working class pride. Much like wearing blue jeans it was a popular rebellion against the frou frou ways of the elite born of pragmatism.

And it caught on to enough of a degree in popular culture that it's still with us in many parts of America.

Goblet and wine glass master race.

As kids, we drank out the small jelly jars with cartoons on them. They were smaller and thicker, so dropping them on the floor didn't cause them to break as easily as a regular glass. My grandfather even drank his wine out of those jelly jars.

There's a restaurant that serves all their drinks in mason jars. A cute concept but they get very slippery with the condensation, which causes the waitresses to drop them often.

A lot of diners do this as part of their blue collar decor.

I have a friend who uses jars because ey are thicker and stronger. Their ice maker would bust glasses if you used the lever on the outside of the fridge. Jars don't break though.

[Anonymous No.4388804]

um. jars are free cups when you have to buy anything that comes in a jar?

I thought that was why people have jars instead of cups?

When I see someone drinking out of one, I immediatley think
>Haha redneck detected
But also
>..I like this person. They seem pretty laid back and drink out of a fucking jar. Lets be friends.

If I had a choice, i'd drink out of a jar vs. a glass any day.
They tend to be cheaper (I remember seeing them for like 10 cents each at a garage sale last year), and last you a bit longer than the regular kind because of that thick, hard-tempered glass.

I once got a mason jar with a glass candle stick holder attached the bottom. Called it a redneck wineglass.

Mason jars are less likely to detonate under temperature fluctuations as well. I've broken more pint glasses making fresh iced tea than I'd care to remember.

I remember they had a pokemon line of those jars, I had a charmander jar for like 14 years until I found it in my parent's pantry a few years ago. It looked like motor oil inside.

When those came out I ate a shit ton of pb&js so I could collect them. The Pokemon all washed off because I used them as cups so often after a year or so :(

I'm just poor as fuck student, so if I buy something that comes in a jar, I wash them and use them to drink.
