To use the small Nutella jars as drinking glasses?

I've got loads, my friend thinks I'm a cheapskate says she always chucks hers in the recycling.

I thought that was the point of them?

Why not? Seems a good idea to me.

I thought that's why they were shaped like that. It's just wasteful to get rid of them.

Lots of people use them in that way, I also thought that was the point of them.

That IS the point of them! Friend is being silly. I always buy those ones if they're on special, specifically to keep them after. They're perfectly sized. Carry on!

I still use some as glasses that were originally nutella pots 10 years ago at uni! (They've survived three international moves). I don't like being wasteful!

I use them too, if you keep the lids they are good for transporting breakfast to work, things like yogurt and granola etc

Ah I'm glad I'm not the only one. Although I'm such a bloody Nutella addict I've got the glasses coming out my ears!

I use them for candles but drinks glasses are a pretty good idea 💡

Just warn any guests with nut allergies is all I'd say.

My parents have quite a few of them but I tend to buy the bigger jars as they are better value after all (it has nothing to do with there being more chocolate inside...)

I keep the glass that candles come in. A hot cycle through the dishwasher and voila, glasses, vases, and the ones with lids for cotton wool, bathroom stuff, the possibilities are endless!

The ones with the white plastic popover lid? They ARE drinking glasses, with nutella in. That's the actual point of them.

My flat mate from Morroco used to do this. Never bothered me. Thought it was quite a French thing to do 😂👌🏼

We have to buy the massive jars now as children are Nutella fiends.

The French think it's an insult to be given a drink in a 'mustard glass' IME. Smile

I do it because I can't bear to waste them but actually they annoy me - too small.

Definitely use as glasses!

The other good thing they are useful for is containing half a tin of soup. They are exactly the right size for half a tin, when you want to eat half and keep half in the fridge.

That is the point of them. How has your friend not twigged?

I love Nutella but dislike palm oil. wish it didn't have it in.

I've also got a few candle jars as glasses, along with a malteaser spread one. Just look like some of my other, brought, glasses.
