Mostly because of the cool gear that scientists used, you know, beakers, flasks, Bunsen burners that sort of thing.

I know because I got a sliver of it in my finger so just be careful. You can use these for vases like I did or you could wrap the top with wire and hang them or fill them with tinsle for the holidays and so much more.
