    I just store them in very large jars. I have several of these now. Don’t know where to put them anymore.

    I’m gonna take this moment to be pedantic for the sake of education. Cabinets do not do the act of storing as is suggested by your title. They house. You store.

    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

    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!

      https://www.zeldaspeedruns.com/oot/tech/bottle-duplication

      Need more bottles.

      Break game to acquire more bottles.

      I don’t follow the OoT speedrunning community much, but I am fairly sure that it is possible to overwrite … almost all usable items in your inventory with bottles, though some methods to do this basically make the game unstable.

      If there isn’t already such a category, I think there should be an Oops! All Bottles! category, lol.

      I remember being able to pull off at least one of these methods back in 1999 or 2000, on an N64… at least one of these methods was circulating on GameFAQs.

      IIRC, you can actually deflect certain range attacks, like Ganondorf’s energy ball things… by precisely timing an empty bottle swing.

      A friend posted this meme on Facebook and my thoughts immediately went to Ocarina of Time. Was Miyamoto also a jar collector? How many jar-obcessed children did this game create?!

      I’m happy that kombucha is popular now, and you can buy it in the store. What I’m not happy about is you can’t find plain flavor! It always has some kind of fruit juice in it.

    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.

      If you live in an apartment, you can make your neighbors love you by making garum, an ancient Roman fish sauce, in a jar, indoors, in your apartment!

    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!

    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.
