When I first moved out on my own for 3 months I made sure peanut butter and Bama jelly sandwiches were on my daily menu as I stocked up on drinking glasses
The snap on lids they used on the drinking glasses made nice free drain screeners when drilled out with a dremel tool driven 1/32 bit to keep food scraps from clogging the drain.
Left intact the drinking glass lids also made a decent pressure seal kitchen sink plug if the one furnished by the apartment somehow got thrown out in the trash.

I have about 2 dozen of the Jelly Glasses. Found 4 more this week in an old trash pile on the property. We have eight of the glasses in the kitchen that my DW used as a child. We use them often.
