Hipsters ruin everything. Even such a staple of rural culture as the Mason Jar.

I looked at all the photos and didn't see a Mason Jar. All I saw were 'Ball".
I like the Classico brand of pasta sauce, and it comes in a nice jar reminiscent of the Mason and Ball types. I drink about six of those jars full of iced tea daily. Nothing else comes close to the right capacity or feel.
It's amazing how much tea a man can drink after he gives up alcohol, and becomes a "tea totaler". But then again I drink a lot of coffee in the morning too, all decaffeinated of course, lest I be climbing the walls.

Kind of hard to figure how to east some of those foods they showed out of a quart mason jar... but I guess they use what I grew up with .... was called a tea spoon.... long stemmed spoon.
That modified Spring water is really only good coming out of a Mason, or Ball, jar. Reminds me of something I need to start today....

Hi,
There's a simple reason for that: it TAKES "Balls" to do that kind of stuff to food... ;)

Uh, Limestone spring? Cannon County has spring water( it is a recipe). In 1976 when I first moved here I was hiking. I was thirsty so grabbed a empty gallon jug from the car and filled with the purest water coming from a spring. Mon, oh man was that good. A beat up ole truck pulled up next to me on that gravel back road. It was one of my former patients. "What ya got there?" Spring water says I. " can I have some? Sure I said as I handed it over. He takes a couple of big gulps in quick succession, then commenced to spitting and sputtering! "That is water!" Yep, spring water from that spring over yonder. All the while he is glaring at me like I had tried to kill him! He put in gear and left as quickly as that old beat up truck could go( not much over walking speed). I found out later, the guy hadn't drank any water in over 20 years! All his fluids were either coffee, tea, or Cannon County Spring Water(moonshine with Sundrop).

When I lived in Upper Carolina I got to talking to the Sheriff one day. Can't remember how we got on the subject but he said I'd do better growing dope than I would brewing and running shine. He said some of the deputies had had lost family during the Moonshine Wars and still held a grudge.

A little "stump blower" is the only thing that belongs in a mason jar.

Interesting point as confirmed by Wikipedia. It seems that some of my jars are misidentified by the manufacturer as they have the word "Mason" embossed in the glass, but came fitted with the one piece lids, which according to Wikipedia, do not meet the criteria of their definition of the term. The jar mouths are oddly sized, and I doubt they would accommodate any of the two piece lids that I have or have seen.
When I was young, and my paternal grandmother was alive and active, she would often mail me a box loaded with jars of her homemade blackberry jelly. It was always in a Mason jar with a two piece lid, and the jelly had a paraffin cap that she poured over the jelly to seal it prior to placing the lid pieces.
You just can't buy stuff that good.
"...do not meet the criteria of their definition of the term."
Terms change... 'Moonshine" was a term for any illegal alcohol that was distilled.
Now the word is used on legal bottles of grain alcohols that's not aged.
Yes, Jack Daniels is "Tennessee Whiskey"... but, it's also a bourbon!
What next? :mrgreen:

Just like Number 9, we know exactly the kind of spring water that's in those jars. And we know where stuff like that is. :D
Popcorn Suttun was the "real-deal". His biggest downfall was the moonshine he made was too good! He supplied his shine to many well known people.. when you have Hank Williams Jr. coming to your funeral, I guess that say it all?
After he wrote the book, "Me and My Likker", and made the video documentary about moonshiners... he was watched like a hawk!
"Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives busted him with 850 gallons of moonshine, stored in an old school bus on his property. He was convicted in 2008 and was due to report to prison Friday, his widow, Pam Sutton, told the Associated Press. Instead, facing the verdict and ill health, he was found dead by Ms. Sutton at the age of 62 on Monday, and authorities suspect carbon-monoxide poisoning, according to the AP. The Cocke County district attorney's office said it is investigating the death."

I've a Mason jar I keep in the basement to save WD-40 in. Whenever I get to the point where it won't spray well, I put a couple of holes thru the top and pour off whats left. Then, the only thing I remember from chemistry lab...I use a straw like a pipette to get it back out for use. The rocket fuel ya'll are talking about will clean a gun barrel right nice.

There's a coffee shop we frequent that uses Ball jars as coffee mugs. A removable felt sleeve is used so you don't feel the heat through the glass.

Anybody here ever make "Coddled eggs"? In England they have special fancy vessels called coddlers, in America we use small Mason jars. Supposed to be sort of like a poached egg, but way better.

Grab your dictionary and look up the definition of the word 'Their". Its meaning has escaped you.
When "Their" definition of the term changes, it will be revealed by being posted at "Their" site.

No, but I do cook up a couple dozen sweet/hot pickled eggs from time to time. A large Mason jar holds a dozen with a little room left over. Wife hates it when I do that. :mrgreen:
