Glass or Plastic Bottles?

[rslcb]

Do you prefer your juice in glass or plastic bottles?

I like the glass ones with the dropper. Makes you feel like a scientist.

It depends on what type of juice I'm making. Some juice cracks plastic so I like to mix it in glass bottles. Mostly citrusy flavors and cinnamons.

I DIY my juice and use mostly plastic. Only because they wont break. Glass is better. I've heard that the plastic can leach into the juice.

I like the plastic because I am a spaz and I drop things. A lot.

ofcourse glass! but the cheap juices i buy dont come in glass

I prefer glass, but typically find that juice packaging is just an excuse to charge more. Everyone is using the same ingredients. Some companies just dress up the packaging, give the stuff a weird name and call it "gourmet". I think it's a racket.

glass all the way

I have both (of course) but really prefer glass with droppers. It is just easier to get the juice into the clearo with a dropper. I have a couple of juices that came in plastic bottles that are really tough to squeeze and get the juice out. So those tend to stay at the back of the cupboard no matter what juice is in them because it is so frustrating.

i prefer the glass bottles. for some reason the liquid seems to steep better in glass than in plastic

If you Get Tired of squeezing those Plastic Bottles, here a Trick.

Take a Straightened Out Paperclip and Jam it down the Hole of the Dripper. Makes things a Lot Easier.

Retailers do have to charge more if they use glass. It's worth the extra expense if it's something that might last a while (larger size, special treat, etc). I DIY for myself and several family members and I can tell you that my biggest expense is the bottles. It costs me almost twice as much for glass as it does for plastic. I get my plastic 15, 20 & 30ml bottles from China but the glass comes from the US. I mix & steep in 8oz glass then transfer to the plastic (needle nose) bottles for my family's convenience . Glass is just too expensive if you are making for a larger number of people that have a hard time recycling the bottle.

As long as it has a dropper/dripper it doesn't really matter.

Both.

Plastic mostly for on the go.
Glass for long term storage.

I found that Plastic is easier for travel (no clanking noise), but glass is nice to look at.

Well, being a wine maker, I have to say that plastic is porous and air can get in and out...... so I use glass carboys to make wine in

but, also being lazy, I keep my e-juices in plastic, it's not better, but it's easier,
but trust me, 30 ml bottles don't last long around here...glass, plastic, or otherwise... lol

Glass bottles and droppers with glass pipettes do actually cost quite a bit more than plastic bottles with dropper tips.
In my experience, the companies willing to spend the extra $$ on packaging, are also willing to spend more on the ingredients to produce what are truly: Gourmet Juices.

Why don't Retailers just give the Option to the Consumer at the time of Purchase? And then just tack on the Extra Cost?

The Plastic People get what they Want.
The Glass People get what they Want.
The Retailer Doesn't Make Any Less Profit.

Seems like Everyone is Happy.
