Homies out here calling a Ball jar a Mason jar... Smh. Practically spitting on the abandoned ruins of Muncie, IN.

The style is called a Mason jar because John Mason came up with it and made it popular. This is called a Mason jar for this reason.

John Mason was from New Jersey. What does Muncie IL have to do with the Mason jar style?

Yeah maybe. Or maybe it's all a Freemason conspiracy, including the Wikipedia page!
