I taped David this afternoon and watched it when Jennifer was demonstrating Corelle dishes.  She talked about how durable they are and went on the show just how durable.  Slammed one on the floor and it broke into many, many pieces.  Suddenly, the demo was over in less than 3 minutes, which must be a record, and was cut away to show another item. I had Correlle dishes way back in the 70's and even then they were not that durable.  Drop one and you'd have a big mess to clean up.  I realize poop happens, but ----!!!

@Kachina624  Sorry. I didn't have the time to go through all the postings.  I'll try to be more watchful next time.

@coffee drinker. lol, lol, lol

We wouldn't let a fun thing like that go by unmentioned for more than 2 min.

Best ITKWD in months.

Bummer! But I love Corelle and use it daily-  $60 with free shipping today is good for a set!  Of course I always wonder if the quality has decreased over time-

@Skyegirl21. It's not the  most gorgeous dishware but it's (usually) indestructible and very lightweight.

@coffee drinker . OMG.  I did not Ser the whole show.  But yes,  I did the same as you.  Many years  ago, I dropped one and it shattered into a million pieces.

'Gee', I've had Corelle plates and bowls and cups for years........Not one has broken.

Also, I've noticed that they 'float'.  They don't seem to 'sink' to the bottom of a plastic kitchen sink bin of soapy water.

Lots of good luck to Corelle owners and everyone here.

Been using my Corelle Butterfly Gold dishes for 51 years, and they are not durable enough to survive a direct drop on the floor.

100% I do NOT do Corelle.

I like the look, the designs, the price, but broken glass pieces can be deadly in a house with multiple pets.  Those pieces also shatter into teeny tiny splinters. Some of the Corelle items are not completely microwave safe, either, and can become very hot.

For daily use we stick with porcelain--also will shatter when broken, but the pieces are much more sturdy, and easier to clean up.  We like Lenox--microwave and dishwasher safe. 

For fancy occasions I have a very nice bone china set with gold designs--all need to be handwashed, and never put in the microwave!
