Homies out here calling a Ball jar a Mason jar… Smh. Practically spitting on the abandoned ruins of Muncie, IN.
Ball doesn’t even make Mason jars anymore, though.
They do and don’t. Ball doesn’t really exist as much more than a brand. Ball branded jars are still a thing.
Hell Ardagh still uses some of the super old ass Ball equipment.
The style is called a Mason jar because John Mason came up with it and made it popular. This is called a Mason jar for this reason.
John Mason was from New Jersey. What does Muncie IL have to do with the Mason jar style?
May be a region thing. A Ball jar is equally genericized and supplants mason especially when used literally. There are still Ball branded ball jars here… not mason… I’ll check but I don’t think they even use mason in the description.
Muncie, Indiana
iswas the home of the Ball Corporation, which is the company referenced in this meme. Also of Ball State University, founded by his endowment. Like “Mason jar” before it, “Ball jar” has become a genericized trademark for the object itself, especially in the Midwest.If you don’t have a Ball cookbook, do you really cook?
But what style is a Ball Jar?
If Ball makes a Mason jar, its still a Mason jar, so are all other jars made by Ball just ambiguously “Ball” jars? Or is there a specific design that is referred to as a Ball jar?
Funnily, they no longer make either of these products. The glass jar division was sold decades ago, and the aerospace sector was purchased by BAE last year. Ball is still the largest manufacturer of aluminum cans, however. They also make plastic bottles.
I like their idea of aluminum cups, but the boxes they come in are unfortunately made from plastic coated paperboard. (Not sure why, with their whole selling point being more environmentally friendly.)

Great at conduction, but with not a lot of thermal mass, meaning that actually your drink will usually just make whatever it’s touching (your hand, often) super cold or hot.

Yeah, for sure. Though if you drink it fast enough, it won’t warm the drink noticeably before it’s gone.

As measured by the average suck point.
