Corelle Demo on ITKWD

rockygems123 — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 19:56:38 GMT

Jennifer Kovich was presenting a Corelle dinnerware set explaining that it is glass but sturdy.

She took a dinner plate and dropped it on the floor to show its durability and it shattered into many pieces.

We have Corelle plates too but I'd never think they'd survive being dropped from a high height to the floor. Maybe not chipped easily but that was an unsuccessful demo.

Ha! I didn't see that, but what an "uh-oh" moment!

Many years ago I had a Corelle dinner plate shatter into a million little pieces and had the same reaction as she did! Love the way David responded and went quickly to the next product!

So what did she say after it shattered @rockygems123 ?

@rockygems123 I just started a thread about this on the Kitchen forum, but I deleted it when I saw you had already introduced the subject.

I felt so bad for Jennifer. I have dropped my Corelle plates in the past and they have not broken. I don't know what happened. But they surely did move on quite quickly.

That was hysterical! Jennifer was stunned!

Gotta love live television.

It's available to watch online if you want to view before it's deleted.

We had Corelle as our first dishes in our university apartment. They were ok, but we never really liked them because of the way flatware felt on them--like being on glass, which they are. They were good for then, but boy did they shatter when they hit the tile floor!! Yikes.

First house--dishes were the first things we bought. Dansk as I remember.

@embgm

Thinking maybe they moved on quicker than they had orginally planned for that Corelle set ha!

The price of that set of Corelle is really good.

@San Antonio Gal

She said before she dropped it "are you ready for this" in terms of durability.

When shattered she just looked shocked and said Ahhhhh and David said not that one, not that one ha. Like that one wasn't very durable.

Jen then started laughing. They moved on quickly.

I felt bad for her. I have Corellle dinnerware and have had only one piece break. I think that if it's dropped and hits a certain spot, that's when it will shatter.

@SilleeMee

It is a good price. And they really are durable ha just not dropped on the floor.

Re: Corelle Demo on ITKWD

Of course the durability refers to normal wear and tear and being "chip resistant" when banged around with typical everyday use.

Flinging to the floor was a bad idea; I bet they won't use that demonstration again.

Item #H515118, Corelle 16-Pc Service for 4 Vitrelle Dinnerware Set. I felt sorry for Jennifer, too. She and David handled the situation well.

Here is Jennifer holding the white plate getting ready to drop it:

After dropping the plate, Jennifer let out a polite scream of surprise, then QVC quickly moved to a presentation of a different item, carbon monoxide detector, I think:

Uh-oh. How awkward. I’m guessing she won’t try that again.

I just recently dropped a Corelle plate that had a little food on it when I was setting on the counter. It broke into many little pieces and chards. Was awful to clean up and didn’t want any bits left to step on. They are not unbreakable.

LindaLatte — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 20:25:12 GMT

How upsetting for Jennifer. When Corelle first came out, a relative was going on and on about how great they were (unbreakable), and did the same thing. Later, I purchased them, and have never had that problem, but I never deliberately dropped them on the floor.

I don't know why she would do that on live TV. I have Corelle and I accidently dropped a dinner plate and depending on how it hits, they shatter into teeny, tiny slivers ALL OVER the floor! Microscopic slivers!

I have several pieces and I like it. It's light weight and is durable. They should have tested one before the show. Now it won't sell. I bought a set at a thrift shop for $8. Brand new. Callaway pattern with ivy.

@snipsnapsnur
That’s exactly what happened to me, as I mentioned above. I couldn’t believe how many tiny pieces went flying.
