With the opening narrower than the body, they also prevent ice cubes from invading our mouths when we consume iced drinks. As an added bonus they seem to be far more durable than our regular glasses and tumblers; we end up breaking one of those every couple of months. They have been almost completely replaced by "free" pasta jars at this point and we have yet to break any of those.

  But a canning funnel can turn those into a good food saving option. Soup, pasta sauce, anything really that isn’t a firm shape.
