What a wonderful article, KUDOS for researching and writing it. I grew up with jelly glasses and used them for years after I had kids. I wish they would comeback too.
I fondly remember the Welch's jars from my childhood. I knew quite a few companies had jars like these because my grandparents were still using branded glass jars as drinking glasses when I was younger, too. It's actually a good thing they decided to get as artistic with them as they did, because so many are still in circulation today. I really wish we would go back to more glass containers. things don't taste the same with today's plastics and now that I think about it, who knows how toxic they've really become? With today's collectible market the way that it is, going back to these sorts of jars would actually benefit everything. The advertising potential alone is massive, as we have seen with movie tieins for many years. Great deep dive into how things used to be and still should be as usual!

Thank you so much! They're such a practical idea, right?
