Many of us may believe that Shot Glass Packaging are simple. They hold liquor, which we either throw back or take a sip of and set aside. However, aside from an awesome design idea, there are a few questions to consider when looking for shot glass gift ideas before proceeding with your purchase. Fortunately for you, we’ll answer those big questions right now, along with a few fun facts about the Shot Glass.
Shot Glass Packaging Made Their Debut in the Wild West
This is a complicated question with no simple answer. While there are several theories floating around the internet, one thing is certain: Shot Glass Packaging were not widely used until after prohibition. The theories, on the other hand, are quite entertaining. So, how about we take a look at a few? The first theory we have is based on the old wild west days and is called “Shot for a Shot.” Underpaid – or non-paid – miners would go to the saloon and trade a bullet for a shot of liquor rather than cash, according to this theory. Given the era, I’d expect liquor to be worth more than a single bullet, even if it was just a shot, so this theory has raised some eyebrows.
The second theory involves those who hunted for food. Because these were home-based operations, those eating the meal were fully expecting to find bullets in their cooked meat. When the bullets were placed in these small glasses, the shot glass came into play. A practical theory with fewer reservations!
Shot Glass Packaging Are Useful for More Than Just Drinking Alcohol
While it is true that most people associate Shot Glass Packaging with liquor, the truth is that Shot Glass Packaging have far more applications. It all depends on how creative you want to be and where your interests lie. Shot Glass Boxes have been used for a variety of purposes, including desserts, smoothies, taste tests, wheatgrass shots, and even uses unrelated to food or drink, such as an additional tool for arts and crafts. With a variety of Shot Glass Boxes at your disposal, the only limit is your imagination. Do you have a party coming up and want to show off your favourite pudding with whipped cream or ultra-healthy berry smoothie? Fill some shot glasses with liquor!
Guests will appreciate the sophisticated look and feel of a tasty treat in a small package. Dessert Shot Glass Boxes not only satisfy a sweet tooth, but they also make your guests feel less self-conscious or guilty about indulging in a special treat.
Your Shot Glass’s Volume May Vary
So, now that you’re thinking about dessert, the next big question is how many ounces are in a shot glass. You need to know what you’re working with, right? If you’re throwing a different kind of party, you’ll also want to know how much liquor you’ll be pouring from your own stash! I’m sorry to inform you that not all Shot Glass Boxes are created equal in terms of volume. The number of ounces held within a shot glass varies depending on its style, size, and even material. According to the all-knowing Wikipedia, only the state of Utah has an official definition of how many ounces are in a shot, which is 1.5 fluid ounces.
Read the Manufacturer’s Instructions on How to Clean Your Shot Glass
Cleaning a shot glass is no different than cleaning any other glass. Just make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine whether your choice is dishwasher safe or must be hand washed. The above Shot Glass Boxes, for example, are laser etched. Regardless, laser engraving is permanent and will not wash away, chip, or fade. That is, you can safely scrub to your heart’s content and even put them in the dishwasher.
