I thought we, as a society, were over this ridiculous "drinking from jars" phase.
What's wrong with drinking from jars?
Look, I have a big thirst at bed time.
Edit: I meant to say, "There was a phase and I missed my one chance to be cool?!"
Phase? I grew up poor AF, so it was either jars or beat-up, cast-off Tupperware cups, and I always hated the feel of putting plastic to my mouth. Now that I'm grown (definitely not grown-up, though) and actually able to afford excellent glassware, jars are just a great way to reduce and reuse. I'm all about multiuse items, and jars are one of my favorites.
Lots of things come in straight-sided jars which maximize volume stored with volume consumed. The jar comes with a sealing lid. They tend to be durable since they have to survive shipping. I can make a big cocktail or some great food to give to a friend without worrying if my container comes back. Yeah, I'm Team Jar all the way.
I’m not a fan of it either. The rims are too thick to pick up the salt, and there’s not enough diameter to get enough salt for the whole drink. Plus, the curve from the jar to the rim makes it hard to get all of the drink without getting hit in the face by the remaining ice. Just a terrible cocktail glass.
