Glass is more expensive for packaging, heavier to ship, and more likely
to break, bird. The Certo bottles had a half-bottle mark embossed in
the glass for those recipes that only required half a bottle (equivalent
to one of today's foil packets).

And where I am, I have never seen Certo powder! I think our Canadian
friends see it.
