Waaaaay back in the day as a kid, those jars made for very nice juice
glasses, as many products like jams and jellies were done in jars that
you could use as drinkware.

Not so long ago I mentioned to my mom that I couldn't find the dried
beef in a jar like she used to get, and I'll be darned if she didn't
find two jars of beef and send them to me! I haven't made creamed
chipped beef yet -- the nostalgia of seeing the beef in those jars keeps
me from doing it.
