I think rather that since glass is expensive and creamed honey is not
transparent at all that choosing a plastic container instead of glass is
more a choice of economics. Would you put cottage cheese into a glass
container? I doubt it.

There is a reginal dairy company here who is putting milk into
traditional like glass containers on the super market shelves. Nothing
different about the milk, but its twice as expensive as the milk in
plastic...why? Other than the novelty, because glass is expensive.
