A very popular reuse of an item in Germany is using the glass that a certain brand of mustard comes in as drinking glasses. It even says, or at least used to say, on the label that this is a popular thing. Most people I know have a few of them.

- m4rtink 7y agoCucumber glasses make nice (big) drinking glasses as well. :) You can even put a lid back on it if you fear it might spill (eq. on a cluttered desk).
- baud147258 7y agoThere's the same thing in France too
- moron4hire 7y agoHere in America, we use recycled glass jars to hold bent nails and rusty screws.
- _Microft 7y agoYes, that too, or for storing wood glue for example.
- rauhl 7y agoWhen I was a boy, we used to use empty mole jars the same way! https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mole+jar+glass&t=h_&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mole+jar+glass&t=h_&iax=images&ia=... It never occurred to me back then that it was unusual …
- flyingfences 7y agoThere's a brand (French, I think) of Jam [0] that's widely available in stores here in America; I've found that their jars make fine rocks glasses once the jam is all used up.

- undersuit 7y agoThe majority of my drinking glass is mason jars I have recycled from my Adams Peanut Butter purchases.
- daotoad 7y agoI grew up in the US and we kept jars from Kraft cheese spread. We used this size glass for orange juice or soda. They're about the same size as mole jars. https://images.app.goo.gl/zNsjQ5MY5zSgafB9A https://images.app.goo.gl/zNsjQ5MY5zSgafB9A
- rags2riches 7y agoMustard advertising in Sweden has made point of it as well[0]. An image search for "senapsglas" yields examples of glasses from different manufacturers of mustard[1] (although some hits seem to be for snapsglas which is something different).

- RugnirViking 7y agoWe used to use old nutella jars from france that had lovely images of asterix and obelix on them as glasses. We had a full set back in the day, which was great!
