The weird thing is, they don't actually sell the jars anymore. "Ball jars" are not made by the ball jar corporation after their antitrust lawsuits for being a fucking jar monopoly. So they sold the "ball jar" rights and now only do aluminum cans for food packaging and high end satellites and satellite launch systems.

now only do aluminum cans for :

  • food packaging
  • high end satellites
  • satellite launch systems.

I find this interpretation funny

Aluminum cylinders only.

Not aluminum? Not interested. Not a cylinder? Not a chance.

Squared off glass cylinder? Legally prohibited.

Transparent aluminum? Believe it or not, jail.

The year is 3506. The Deimos Corporation has expanded into Phobos, Luna, and all the other moons of the solar system.
