Very important NCEPR question: what is the name...

[heightsyankee]

of those kinds of glass dishes that everyone had in the 70s that don't break?

[moreace01]

fiestaware?

[Daria Morgandorffer]

Corelle? It's not really unbreakable though. Just tough.

No, that's not it. These are thin and white, sometimes with a floral pattern around the rim. You can literally drop them and they don't break. I keep wanting to call them Chinette or Coronett, but those are paper plates.

This is killing me!

Yes!! Thanks! I was responding about Fiestaware before I saw this. Thanks.

I know it's not totally indestructible but pretty close.

[PinkSquirrel]

Corningware?

I love corelle. The sound of those bowls/plates clanking together reminds me of my grandmothers house.

Seriously nostalgic stuff.

When my mom got our first set of corelleware I was showing it to a friend and said "It's unbreakable. Watch this!" and smashed one on the linoleum floor. OhEmmGee. It shattered into two substances, a fine glittery powder that remained in the texture of the floor for years after, and inchlong daggers that went everywhere. That's the day I learned the difference between "-resistent" and "-proof".

[mominatrix]

Yeah... It will go years without breaking, then, suddenly, if you breathe wrong near it, it smashes into a billion little knives.

Plus, there is no sound more irritating than corning ware on corning ware. It's an irritating noise that makes nails on a blackboard sound like sweet sweet music.

Sent from my HTC Glacier using ProBoards... So excuse any wonky autocorrect.

we rock the corelle on the daily.

they will break if you drop them on each other, but outside of that, pretty damn hard to break

Ditto here too, rocking the same dishes my mom bought me for my college apt as well as some randoms that DH inherited. DH's contributions are the sole survivors of a cabinet collapse in his grad school apt.
