Why are damn food bottles made of glass still?

Why the frick did that bottle just break when it fell from the door of my refrigerator?  It was on the bottom shelf!  What's that, like an 8 inch drop?  Why does my bottle of Worcestershire Sauce have to be made of glass?  Do pickles really have to be in glass instead of plastic? Lemon juice?  Ken's Dressing?  Teriyaki sauce?  Salsa Jar...ALL GLASSS.

My roommates and I are putting down a new rule to not store anything glass in the refrigerator.  Yes, it had to come down to this after three similar incidents.  It also seems to happen at the most inopportune time like when guests are coming for dinner, during party preparations, when I am about to leave for a meeting. 

I can't hide my helplessness when I am standing on my tiptoes in middle of a kitchen.  What am I supposed to do?  How in the world do I go get the damn broom and the dust pan behind the basement door?  The only thing I can do?  Start crying like an infant so my roommates can rush to my rescue.

I just don't understand why everythign cannot be made of plastic.  They are lighter, flexible, cheaper (I think), and can survive an 8 inch drop!  Yes, I wish everything was made of Rubbermaid.

Glass is classy. End of story. Plastic is for noobs!

I can't imagine the weight of those bottles too. They must cost so much more to distribute. I wonder why the manufacturer's continue to use that over plastic.

More cost to distribute AND more resources (gasoline) being used AND pollution being released. I see no upside.

Yes, I know plastic is made of oil AND how they can pollute if they are thrown away.
