Yea, just try getting a stale beer smell out of a beer bottle, or heat an
empty liqueur bottle up and ignite the fumes. [ I burned my hand real good
that way once...nice blow torch! ]
There is another probable effect as relates to glass.
Glass has metallic and semi-metallic alloys involved with silicon which may
act as a poor solar cell, converting electromagnetic radiation frequencies
into electricity and acting as a capacitor to store it.
Glass actually makes a pretty decent capacitor.
CS ions may gradually pick up electrons from the surface of glass and
convert to metallic silver.
Harvard class experiments on making EIS [CS] have revealed that the
surface of glass serves as a crystal nucleation site.
Plastic does not have those properties, but can store a static charge...so
it might do the same thing to CS if carried in a silk or fur lined pocket
for a long time?
I've had samples go yellow during long distance transport where the
"control" portions never did. Ever open a box of just shipped styrofoam
peanuts and not been able to get them to go where you want them to?
"Solar cells" can be formulated to be frequency specific, so there's no
telling what frequencies a given jar may be sensitive to. Add in some
impregnated contaminants....and who knows what may happen beyond a simple
chemical reaction going to electro-chemical.
Then, with plastic, there are those plasticizers that gradually leech.
It's just not a perfect world, ey?
But then, what's stuck on a container, can't get stuck in you...and may
even seal the surfaces away from future reactions and eliminate leeching.
..... like Aluminum quickly makes itself an virtually impervious and inert
VERY hard Aluminum Oxide layer that prevents further oxidation for
thousands of years.
I never wash a good jar beyond rinsing..

LOL. Thanks for saying what I've thought for years now--glass is not as
impermeable as it is said to be. My comment is just that I've had more
trouble with glass jars and bottles affecting CS adversely than plastic.
In fact, I've never had a plating or drop out problem with plastic
bottles or jugs used for storing CS, unless the CS was yellow when it
went into the plastic. I've had lots of CS turn color and suffer plate out
and drop out when stored in glass. Sometimes I've been able to clean a
glass container well enough with peroxide and running through the
dishwasher, then rinsing with hot tap water, then with several changes of
distilled water, but some glass jars even those measures didn't work on.
One was a very old canning jar. No telling what it had absorbed, and what
was leaching into the CS.

The portion that went into that jar instantly turned muddy brown while
the rest remained crystal clear and colorless.
Attempts to duplicate that have failed, indicating that something was
"special" on that pee day...also proving that glass isn't as impregnable
as commonly thought.
