I found the perfect Gadget for Jeff and his jar.

because fuck zojirushi!

"Just replace the metal lid with this cool new Cuppow sipping lid to transform an old-fashioned wide mouth canning jar into a uniquely interesting and inexpensive travel mug. It's an ingenious and funny alternative to the typical slick and expensive travel mug, but until they invent a canning jar travel mug insulated sleeve, you'll need to be careful with hot coffee and tea."

THIS IS RIDICULOUS. you can get a ok thermos for $9 and this thing looks like cheap plastic. anyway.. this thing is actually real: http://www.cuppow.com/

A thermos may be cheaper but then where would the jar love be?

Am I the only one that thinks drinking from a jar is kinda weird?

also: where's the jar love coming from? who said that it would be ok (and not at all hobo like) to drink out of an empty jar?

Nope.

It looks like you end up paying more for the packaging then you do the actual product.

Finally, you can be white trash and work on your career at the same time. Billy-Joe, no need to choose between the fast urban life of Wall Street or your trailer, just buy yourself one of these and GIT R' DUN!

$10 for a plastic cap? Wow, what a fucking rip-off

How hard is it to pour the content of the jar into a drinking cup? This is like inventing secondary bed sheets because the first layer of bed sheets is too much of a hassle to get under.

When visiting my grandparent's house out in the country when I was a kid we would drink iced sweet tea out of jars. Sit down on the front porch in the hot summer with a big jar of sweet tea and you'll understand.

I always used to drink out of jars because it's a really stupid thing to do.

Wow, a cap for hipsters so they can drink out of a jar and feel more hipsterish...

 Looks like a great way to turn a jar into a sippy cup.

Something that most people think is a complete waste of money and only caters to/intrigues a few people. Sounds right up Jeff's ally.

Naw, defeats the ridiculousness of it. Drinking straight out of the jar is the point, maan.

Is that a sippy cup?

Pretty much this. My grandmother still has cups that are basically just mason jars.

An adult sippy cup!

What's wrong with just drinking out of a jar, exactly?

now i can drink beet juice right out of the jar? sold.

i did this when i was young, but we had real glasses.

What kind of hipster jar shit is this?

Tested needs to make one of these with the makerbot.

I'm pretty sure drinkin' straight out the jar is a lot cooler than turning your jar into a sippy cup. I figured the whole point of drinking out of a jar is that it's close to a beer glass in size, allowing you to take large gulps of whatever you're drinking. The sippy cup top ruins that aspect.

no

Like posted on the first page, looks like a sipper cup. I do have a canning jar to drink out of myself... And its not one of those fake ones you buy for drinking, this is a jar which at one point houses my muttis home-made strawberry jams.

Not sure what it says about me when I immediately thought the person in the bottom picture was drinking urine.

Nope.

It's fairly common where I'm from, and I even think it's super weird.

So I can drink pickled egg juice without getting hit in the face by pickled eggs? About time.

Around here we save all of our glass jelly/jam jars for drinks, glasses are fine but the width of a jar allows for a better ice-cube to beverage ratio, and nothing is better than drinking something out of a nice cold glass.

@Vorbis: i heard u have had pickled eggs on face, it just confuses me why u would let that happen over and over if u didnt like it.

No thank you, I can afford cups.

I think that girl's pretty cute.

Mason Jars make things taste better. Proven fact.

Drinking out of them is not hard or in any way inconveniencing.

I love 'em for all the juicing I do.

Nope.

It is pretty weird, and I had never heard of such a thing until I went to Maine for New Year's. I was kind of grossed out by the fact that what I was drinking out of was once full of grape jelly, but other than that they make perfectly acceptable glasses.

If Jeff wants to class things up he should get the Redneck Mason Jar Wine Glass.
