No it's the ball company that makes fake mason jars. (Well assuming it's the same company. I honestly have no idea. But my point is)
Because the mason jar was made by Mason the company.
Yeah. The original owners also built the house where Bob Ross filmed the joy of painting. I think the aerospace division was spun off in the 90s tho
Whaaaat
Damn I didn’t know our canning jars were also evil:(
I guess the US won't be stopping us telling Ukraine to go crazy with stuff we give them even if they have US parts then
~~This is… a weird thing to report on isn’t it?~~
~~Like, I’m sure there are plenty of parts from many different companies from dozens of countries inside these things. Unless the components are something substantial, like “tomahawk missile only” parts, I don’t really understand the significance.~~
Ignore me, I should have read the article first.
