Well, currently Ball doesn't make any jars, as I understand it. And I don't think it's in Muncie anymore either. So the term is just a holdover.

Those do look really nice, for sure. They'd make great snack cups.

Oof. I think I lean more toward her side, to be honest. I don't like having cold hands.

Ok.

Believe what you like. Including that all mathematics communication and education is flawless and incapable of any ambiguity, apparently.

But for your own growth as a person, I recommend you chew on this: the people who write these "questions" to put on Facebook are exploiting the exact same mindset that made you decide that insulting my intelligence was the best way to have this conversation, and using it to get a massive amount of rage-baity engagement. They're not teachers trying to educate. They're scammers trying to build up a following so that they can execute a scam.

Actual math educators, on the other hand, are moving away from using the "PEMDAS" (or "BEDMAS") acronyms because of the ambiguity inherent in them, and using "GEMS" (or "GEMA") instead. Partially because, if even smart people who know PEMDAS can get confused, the acronym must not be all that useful.

Anyway. You're trying to make me mad, and for a minute it worked. But I'm over it. Again--have a good one.

Yeah, for sure. Though if you drink it fast enough, it won't warm the drink noticeably before it's gone.

See also: the Apollo Lunar Module (LEM), the humble US Postal Truck (LLV), and the F/A-18 Super Hornet, all made by the Grumman Corporation.

Great at conduction, but with not a lot of thermal mass, meaning that actually your drink will usually just make whatever it's touching (your hand, often) super cold or hot.

Muncie, Indiana ~~is~~ was the home of the Ball Corporation, which is the company referenced in this meme. Also of Ball State University, founded by his endowment. Like "Mason jar" before it, "Ball jar" has become a genericized trademark for the object itself, especially in the Midwest.

I don't take homework from insufferably smug jerks on the Internet. Have a good one.

They're definitely not

Just patently untrue, but I'm no longer interested in this.
