They are VERY big jars... is the ice in them to cut down on the ammount of actual drink required to fill them? like Maccas?

Yes, Shannen and Marc have it right, we use them in the south, usually after we have emptied out and eaten whatever was in them, towards spring they are everywhere, by fall we are back into using glasses, because we've canned/put up everything we can find, and have no more mason jars...if someone ever gives you something in one do NOT throw the jar or the ring away! they can be reused next year! but you can chunk the seal, it's gone now! Jeez how many gallons of blackberries have i picked? How many tons of tomatoes have i helped put up? Oh yes, I'm a southern girl...born and raised! Heidi

PS Nice Pic ya'll!!!

Thank you whetutu........

Ah Herman - I was wondering if they asked a random passer-by to take the snap. Welcome to Fish Profiles

I had a great time and was happy to meet you three.

I am behind the camera if you need to know.

Those were quart sized Mason Jars. The Mason Jars are what us "country folk" use for canning our fruits and veggies from the garden, so we can have them all year long. They make great glasses, and I even use them at home for drinking glasses. The Mason Jars, come in sizes, pint, quart, and gallon. As for the ice taking up space in the glass, well, you only paid for one drink, all refills were free, so it did not matter how much ice was used. lol.

Indeed Shannen. It was a Roadhouse Grill, where you get buckets of peanuts and your drinks in Mason jars. Yes, those were genuine

*sings*

And we like to drink our beer from a Mason jar
mmm mmm mmmmm mmm mmm I love this bar

Except in this case it was diet Coke, Sprite and sweet tea... ah yes sweet tea. Another southern favorite that brings back memories of my childhood summers spent in Georgia

Drinking from jars is actually very common in the South.

I think they were at Roadhouse Tim. The jars are apart of the theme.

A jar bar?


Nice spotting Whetu!

so? jars aint always bad, i mean, they're big, they don't leak, and they're dirt cheap but would one go about considering those "mason jars"

Daka
