when you get a glass carboy make sure it is double blown, single blown carboys are cheap and worthless, if you look at your carboy and it has two layers of glass its double blown or also called inside out glass blown, dont ask me how I know so much about glass...hehe

This being a store bought juice jug, it was only a single layer of glass. interestingly enough it was almost 1/4" thick at the top and only about 1/16" thick near the bottom.
My cousin ran a restaurant, they had hot sauce in 1gallon glass. Almost every time someone lifted one by the handle, the bottom would fall out per say. When he gave me some of the empties that was the first thing he told me. "Do not lift them by the handle or you'll have a mess to clean up".
yea it probably thinned out when they blew it or they did it intentionally, not all glass is made by hand though, either way it obviously wasnt made well, always buy the thickest glass you can.
