I've had a couple of instances where the glass breaks during shaking, which is not only dangerous (which I don't mind), but makes a huge mess (which I do mind!). Had it happen in the back of the Mai Kai and had to toss a entire 50 gal drum of ice because glass pieces got into it. You can also squeeze a stainless tin, which helps when you go to break the seal. They also don't break like glass. They can also be used as a poor man's mint julep or mule cup! Make sure you get the right size, though. They sell two sizes and the smaller size (16 oz) drops too far into a standard bottom tin to be of any use. As far as weighted, I guess I'm much lazier than AceExplorer, scratch that, I KNOW I'm much lazier than he is, so the extra weight doesn't do anything for me!
