"Just look at all these pens and ink! I could write so many things: poetry, history, my deepest secrets, a book that changes the world!"

"So, what are you currently writing?"

"Well, nothing..."

Oh god so true. My mother has this disease. Half of the shelves in her kitchen are filled with these empty bottles. And she's stacking up filled jars on the counters! Grrrrrrrrr

No, I need more empty jars! What else should I put in all those neat empty boxes I collected?

Most of those jars are perfect containers for weed.

I grow a bunch of weed for personal use and one year I grew so much I ran out of jars. I have probably ~50 or so 16oz mason jars as a result.

That was a good year!

There's some Albertson's trail mix that I sort of tolerate, but buy lots of because I really like the containers it comes in for storing screws and stuff in the garage.

I think my dad did similar with Yuban coffee because he's got custom built shelves in his shop to hold over a hundred of those old steel cans.

I'm now using clean peanut butter jars as mini green houses for pots, to help seeds sprout. See! I need to save every single one!

Kombucha time!

Some bulk food stores let you bring your own. You put a sticker on them with the bulk item # and also the dry weight, so it's a little more work, but then you can put your jars to use!

Are you me?

Just like the Taoism concept of 'Pu', or the un-carved block, being a symbol of pure potential, an empty bottle is also pure potential

They have potential. They always endup being used. Sometimes, to make better use of space I might swap bigger jars with smaller ones depending on the content. In the storage cabinet, bigger jars can contain smaller ones.

I blame Ocarina of Time, wherein glass jars are extraordinarily useful and difficult to acquire. Oh, there's also only four of them in existence. Cleaned-out peanut butter jars are basically Blue Eyes White Dragons.

Jars make cute pots for small plants.

Walking into The Container Store always makes me feel good about my glass jar collection when I see them charge like $8 to $10 for a single glass jar. Their “luxury acrylic” jars are about half the cost of that… I know that the store only exists to separate rich people from their money.

Start growing/foraging plants and drying them. When you do that, you can never have enough jars.

Hey keep your hands off my wife

I'm gonna start throwing some away once I start running out of space! I swear!

Oof. I also have a couple of really good bottles ... I sometimes use them for premade cocktails or when I buy a bottle of spirit or wine that really needs a better container.

A jar offers peak utility when empty - so much efficiency!

I thought this was Autism memes for a second

I remember before I stopped drinking I loved collecting the extravagant liquor bottles. I must have had a dozen of the old kahlua ones that were all dimpled and ridged, and the cool but terrible tasting tequila skulls.

Very cute and relatable
