The weird thing is, they don't actually sell the jars anymore. "Ball jars" are not made by the ball jar corporation after their antitrust lawsuits for being a fucking jar monopoly. So they sold the "ball jar" rights and now only do aluminum cans for food packaging and high end satellites and satellite launch systems.

They don't even do aerospace anymore. Ball Aerospace & Technologies was bought by BAE Systems earlier this year.

BAE caught them slipping, huh?
