    Oof. I also have a couple of really good bottles … I sometimes use them for premade cocktails or when I buy a bottle of spirit or wine that really needs a better container.

    They have potential. They always endup being used. Sometimes, to make better use of space I might swap bigger jars with smaller ones depending on the content. In the storage cabinet, bigger jars can contain smaller ones.

    Most of those jars are perfect containers for weed.

    I grow a bunch of weed for personal use and one year I grew so much I ran out of jars. I have probably ~50 or so 16oz mason jars as a result.

    That was a good year!

      They would also make for incredible piss jars though, and they would be excellent for preserving strange animals / body parts. You have to consider all the angles!

    I’m gonna take this moment to be pedantic for the sake of education. Cabinets do not do the act of storing as is suggested by your title. They house. You store.

    I blame Ocarina of Time, wherein glass jars are extraordinarily useful and difficult to acquire. Oh, there’s also only four of them in existence. Cleaned-out peanut butter jars are basically Blue Eyes White Dragons.

    “Just look at all these pens and ink! I could write so many things: poetry, history, my deepest secrets, a book that changes the world!”

    “So, what are you currently writing?”

    “Well, nothing…”

      To real. Pretty good chance that when I do want to write something (e.g. birthday cards), my pen is dried up and it’s a whole thing to make it write well again …

    Oh god so true. My mother has this disease. Half of the shelves in her kitchen are filled with these empty bottles. And she’s stacking up filled jars on the counters! Grrrrrrrrr

    I’m now using clean peanut butter jars as mini green houses for pots, to help seeds sprout. See! I need to save every single one!

    There’s a local store, where you can bring your glass jars and they fill you up with all kinds of dry foods. Since I’ve started buying there, I’ll look in normal stores specifically for products that come in decent-looking jars. 🙃

      A friend posted this meme on Facebook and my thoughts immediately went to Ocarina of Time. Was Miyamoto also a jar collector? How many jar-obcessed children did this game create?!
