To use the small Nutella jars as drinking glasses?

[Snugglepalace]

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?

I do.

We do this. I quite like red wine in them. It makes me feel like Uncle Cesar in Manon des Sources. I'd prefer to drink pastis from them, except it's abhorrent.

A girl who lived in my flat in uni halls did that. Why not if you need extra glasses

That's why they're the shape they are.

Yes of course, all my short tumblers are courtesy of nutella. And def keep some lids, they're perfect for storing half cans of beans etc in the fridge.

If my glasses cupboard is full, I get big jars.

What??? Does someone have a pic of these jars as i'm seriously confused!

My mum does this - they did Scooby Doo themed ones a few years ago, I explained they were supposed to be used as glasses when she tried to recycle it, think she ended up getting a few more jars to get more of the characters

And DH and I keep the little ramekins desserts come in for serving things like nuts, and for prepped ingredients (chopped onion etc) that we're not ready to use yet

Saves having to buy them

I use the glasses for my Friday night Amaretto, the kids milkshakes, squash, jellies, Angel delights, the list is endless! My friend is a snob!

.

As long as you're not a hipster cafe in Dalston, crack on

OP - your friend is an idiot. If she doesn't want the glasses,

Urgh, fat thumb, just buy the big pots.

Wouldn't the hipster cafe use the big jars rather than something so obviously a glass?

I'm so glad I read this thread - it didn't occur to me to keep the lids!

I never thought of doing this . Love this idea

I've got a few but not that keen on Nutella.

So I bought a set of six from a charity shop, there were several sets in there

Wow I can't believe this hasn't occurred to me, thank you!

Snugglepalace that's genius using them for jellies, as soon as Lent's over I will definitely be doing that

we do, some of them have a nice twist in the glass at the bottom, I thought this is what they were for when finished.

I had a couple, used them as glasses. Then I used them to soak paintbrushes in white spirit, but they got splattered so I recycled them.

Gosh that was boring.

errol there's a good chance, actually. So far the "best" I've been served cocktails in was a reclaimed primary school test tube - maybe a Nutella glass would be too mainstream .

I have just bought one with white reindeers on - i shall be going back tomorrow for the stars and gingerbread man patterns tomorrow!

They are perfect for storing things, for drinking out of, for using while crafting (they hold pens/pencils/paintbrushes/glue sticks etc).

Google 'nutella jar hack' or something and loads of ideas pop up.

I've used them as pudding glasses for individual tiramisu, trifle, mousse, cheesecakes etc

That's the whole point of them. They are perfect size for a fruit juice in the am.

They're not screw top, just had a cap lid
