To think that jam jars don't make good glasses?

[Freshsteps]

What's it all about? I keep seeing them and have even been compelled to try to drink from one. The threaded top is surely incompatible with normal human lips.

Yanbu. They make you dribble down your chin. Uncomfortable to use as well. Silly trend.

I was thinking glasses = spectacles.
Neither seems a comfortable option IMO.

Sorry, but I love jam jars for drinks in the garden, so much less likely to break if knocked over. Bonne Maman are the best; can't understand buying special jars with handles, ffs though...

YABU. The threaded top is reassuring and makes a nice curve for your lips.

Plus it makes you feel like you're camping and being resourceful

I've spotted these in Sharon's bar on Eastenders. She must be saving a few quid in drinking glasses.

Pestriana a bit like beer goggles, but jam jar goggles? It crossed my mind that the OP had taken leave of her senses and was using some empty jars as substitute specs.

I like them but use a straw to avoid dribbling

I like them

Have you seen wewantplates.com/ ? There's a lot worse out there.

I thought Lazy bastard sardines was good until I spotted the sausage tree

My DH loves these. He's had a cupboardful since we met. Wanker.

YANBU. That's what empty nutella jars are for.

Yuk! I saw them on the Tesco website, THREE quid for one complete with straw. Daft, they sell jam for 29p!

It's wanky.

A restaurant I was in had them and when our drinks arrived I asked for a proper glass please. the waitress gave me an 'I understand' look and returned the drinks in glasses. I thanked her.

I am a huge fan of the we want plates movement, ever since I was served macaroni cheese on a bloody slate. I want my drinks in a proper glass thanks. Jam jars are hipster wankery.

Yanbu. I can't bear them. I also thought of We Want Plates.

I thought you meant eye glasses too. The image has quite made me laugh!

Totally thought you meant eye glasses, like when strong lenses are described as 'jam jar specs'

Oh, I'm so ahead of the pack! I used to use jamjars as glasses 25 years ago when I was too poor to afford glasses

Load of gimmicky hipster nonsense.

There's a cocktail place near me that serves all its drinks in jam jars and they're all almost a tenner each. It's always packed with bearded top-knotted twats in slip-on shoes. Grown men drinking out of tiny jam jars, I ask you. One day they'll look back and realise how ridiculous they looked

Ha! I used to do this at uni as we were too skint to buy more real glasses, my flat mates all laughed at me but now I'm smug that I was ahead of the trend

It's always packed with bearded top-knotted twats in slip-on shoes. I live on the West Coast of Canada. The whole place is filled with these specimens.

i bought a pile of the lidded, handled mason jar glasses for using in the garden last year.

Visions of lovely sangria and pimms in the summer....I do not think we had a single sunny day so they all stayed in the damned cupboard.

oh and they were pennies, in Home Bargains

The lid is useful I suppose. There's nothing worse than a wasp floating in your Pimms.

MIL drank out of jam jars as a child because they were so poor they didn't have glasses
