Syrup used to be stored in large, thick, clay jugs, a gallon or more. These vessels were pored by means of resting them on your shoulder and hooking a finger (or two!) into the loop for control.
These smaller bottles have vestigial loops.
Next you’re going to tell me we drank honey straight from the full-sized bear, aren’t you?
Proper drinking technique demonstrated (on left):
one of my uncles told my nephews it was because canadians have a sixth, tiny finger on each hand, it’s how you can tell they’re from canada. they believed this for years, but I guess it’s easy to lie to 5 year olds
And sideways vaginas. Even the men.
I’m sure that you’re speaking from a position of knowledge, but I fear how you gained it. (v)
Shut up! That’s a national secret!
ack, the mounties are at my door! on mooses!
You hoser! Take off eh!
So you can string them on a necklace.
Walk through a forest with a couple dozen empties strung around your neck and trees know what the fuck is up.
There so you can hook them to a Carabiner and carry them with you. As is tradition.
It’s like no one has heard of hiking syrup before.
There are those h o wonder, and those who DO. and we are the men that DO.
Made for Tommy Shriggly. Can I get a little clap?
I think the shape is supposed to be reminiscent of a gallon jug, where the handle actually fits a grown human’s finger. By scaling it down we’re left with a handle that feels idiotic.
Oh like landau bars on hearses
Theres actually quite a few examples of this kind of thing in the automotive world.
is-is it not where you hold it with your prehensile penis?
I mean that’s not what it was designed for but if it works for you…
Shit who even knows what it was designed for.
I mean… That’s how I’ve been using it. 🤷
it’s to keep the butthole from closing around the top in a manner that would be dangerous.
You’re telling me I’m supposed to stop before the loop?
depends on where you start. ;)
Depends on skill level really.
Behind every OSHA directive there is a harrowing tale.
Its a useless leftover from when the containers were stone jugs.
They still are. Just melted stone.
Silica is a mineral. aka Quartz and it will melt. Stone jugs are made from clay and is vitrified not melted. its fired in a kiln like brick.
Well, “vitrified” literally means made glassy, and the process involves melting the silicates in the clay, so there are some similarities.
Only in process and loosely at that. Vitrified clay or brick if you prefer is much harder than silica glass.
You must be fun at parties!
No I actually mean that, I would listen to this shit drunk until way early morning.
You must be fun at parties!
Same I bet they just laugh and laugh.
Screw that geology rocks!
Vestigial handle?
Hah! Dumb stone agers!
You mean Canadians don’t have them attached to their belts like a hip flask?
As is the fashion of the time!
I’d rock that with a beefy retractable lanyard reel (?)
Same thing with tiny coffee cups. What the fuck is up with that. I can pinch it sure, but I don’t wanna.
