Glass. Mayo. What?

It's always when I don't have the time to write that I really, really want to. But I can't.

I just can't.

I get great ideas while I'm busy and tell myself, "I'll remember this, don't worry."

But I don't.

Ever.

Like right now, I'm thinking "If plastic is so cheap, why are things still in glass bottles and jars? Surely the process for making plastic is cheaper than making and handling glass, plus there's the added bonus of producing a 'shatter-proof' product. This is something that we take for granted these days. A dropped jar of mayonnaise is a terrible, terrible thing. So why is it so hard to make them in plastic jars instead of glass? I know, a lot (most?) of mayonnaise jars (I'm sure there are those that see the word "mayonnaise" and cringe in gross queasiness [seeing it three times here must make you roll up into a fetal ball, those of you that hate mayonnaise. Sorry, I said it again. Wait. . . where was I? Oh, a nested parenthetical clause inside a quotation. I'm too convoluted to follow my own self. Five extra bonus points to you for reading this far. Three extra bonus points if you still understand what I'm saying this far in. Okay, back to glass jars] ) are plastic, but there are still those that aren't. Why not make them all plastic?"

This is what I'm thinking instead of working on my last college class.

FUN FACT: Sometimes I go to Wal-Mart and buy a bottle of bubbly. Welch's sparkling grape juice, that is. You know, the stuff you buy for birthdays and New Year's when you want to say "I'm festive, but also a teetotaler." I didn't used to like it, I thought it was cliche as a kid. Now I just get it whenever. It's over 2 bucks for maybe 16 oz. of drink, but it's basically the best grape soda you'll ever drink.

Plus it comes in a GLASS bottle.
