      They sold the rights to make the magic wand about a decade ago. No longer Hitachi, alas.

    Funnily, they no longer make either of these products. The glass jar division was sold decades ago, and the aerospace sector was purchased by BAE last year. Ball is still the largest manufacturer of aluminum cans, however. They also make plastic bottles.

      I like their idea of aluminum cups, but the boxes they come in are unfortunately made from plastic coated paperboard. (Not sure why, with their whole selling point being more environmentally friendly.)

        Also aluminum is super great at conducting heat! which means your drink will rapidly move toward whatever temperature it is.

          Great at conduction, but with not a lot of thermal mass, meaning that actually your drink will usually just make whatever it’s touching (your hand, often) super cold or hot.

            It’s a two way street. Your hand is reciprocally warming the drink.

      The style is called a Mason jar because John Mason came up with it and made it popular. This is called a Mason jar for this reason.

      John Mason was from New Jersey. What does Muncie IL have to do with the Mason jar style?

        Muncie, Indiana is the home of the Ball Corporation, which is the company referenced in this meme. Also of Ball State University, founded by his endowment. Like “Mason jar” before it, “Ball jar” has become a genericized trademark for the object itself, especially in the Midwest.
