Thing I remembered today when shopping for fancy mason jar lids:

When I was a little kid, since I had never seen it written down and was in a French class by the tender age of 5, I assumed they were "maison jars" -- i.e. jars you used at home to make pickles rather than buying pickles at the store, which came in their own jar.

("Maison" means "house" or "home" in French.)
