You know that Corelle dishes commercial where they grease the runway to show that the dishes are breakproof? My personal consumer report test just proved it false. I don’t know how this guy did it on concrete.
I swiped two plates & two bowls from my mom’s house precisely because those plates were super lightweight, sturdy, and oven safe. Well, today on my second day using them, I was drying a bowl when it slipped out of my hand and shattered into a million pieces on the linoleum floor. It didn’t just break in half or a few big chunks, it shattered. Keep in mind that this dorm room is depressingly small, so the mess covers half of my floorspace. To make things even better, it’s 10pm, I don’t have a broom, and I was never told if there was an RA or office where I could get a broom. I just picked up half of it by hand before having to take a break, lest I cry in frustration.

when we lived in Columbus, we had Correlle plates and a friend was over once, he stumbled, and dropped his correlle onto the CARPET and it broke in two. But those plates were old. Maybe yours were as well? Maybe the warranty doesn’t work forever? Either way, people should know they are taking chances when they use Correlle, and thanks for writing a blog post to spread the word!
