Pick glass

Okay kiddo, have you ever gone to a store to pick out a cup or a glass for your drinks? Well, there are lots of different types of glasses you can choose from, but today we're going to talk about "pick glass."

Pick glass is actually short for "pickle jar glass," which means it's a type of glass jar that's often used to store pickles or other foods. These jars are made out of special glass that's really strong and can withstand high temperatures and pressure.

The reason for this is because when pickles are made, they need to be cooked and then sealed in the jar. This process can create a lot of heat and pressure inside the jar, so it's important to use a strong glass that won't break or shatter.

But even though pick glass is tough, it's still see-through, so you can see the pickles or other foods inside. And the glass also doesn't absorb any flavors or odors, so your pickles will stay fresh and tasty for a long time.

So next time you're at the store and you see a jar of pickles or other food in a pick glass jar, you'll know just how strong and special that glass is!
