    The better quality is the key here. The shit made today are intentionally made to be replaced.

    Pyrex is the best example. The old-school Pyrex logo means it’s made from really tough glass whereas the newer logo means it’s shit and will shatter when going from hot to cold (oven to countertop).

      I wondered about this and apparently it’s a bit more complicated, funnily enough since 2007 European Pyrex is the older style borosilicate glass again

        Yep, there’s an excellent video by Ann Reardon talking about this.
