This blooper reminds me when MBR was presenting hollow gold jewelry that was allegedly dent proof.  I think it was a bracelet that she put on the floor and proceeded to stomp on it with her shoe.  Guess what ?  The thing looked like it got run over by a truck.

As usual, Marybeth was the ultimate professional.  Still funny though !

absolutely HATE corelle pieces.

break just ONE and you will know why........

shards everywhere!

When I was a HS Freshman in Homemaking, the teacher demonstrated how this new glass was unbreakable.  She threw it on the floor and it shattered in a billion pieces.  

Several years ago I gave away all my stoneware and bought Corelle due to my hands.  They were starting to 

get fumbly plus the stoneware was a lot heavier.  Over the years I've broken one plate and DH has broken one.  I like how lightweight they are and how easy they stack in the d/w and cabinet.

@monicakm  How did the school students react?  Did they laugh?

We used to have a beagle. The scamp discovered that he could hop up and ****** the  Corelle dishes off the counter. The Corelle was lightweight enough that it would easily become aerodynamic. The food would go flying. The Corelle would smash on the floor. The beagle would get the food. He broke all of our Corelle dishes in that fashion.

We carry Corelle in the camper because it is lightweight and we can put it in the microwave. We hit a nasty crater in a parking lot and the cupboard opened, one of the dishes came out and hit the floor. there were at least a thousand shards on the floor. I was scared to death that the cats were going to get hurt so I locked them in the bedroom and ran the sweep 4 times after I picked up the big pieces. Never again.

@AuntMame What a smart little brat!!!!

@coffee drinker The very first thing I thought when I realized she was going to drop a plate was "Not on a tile/concrete floor!"  Of course it shattered!  I might have taken a shot at that demo if I was on a linoleum or other padded flooring surface, but not tile or concrete.  Sheesh!  How many times did they do test drops before they went on air with that?  Not enough, clearly.....

We had Corelle when we first got married...the first piece was broken after it slid off the dish drainer onto the floor--and a butter knife slid after it and landed on top of it. 

It shattered into nothing but splinters & dust! I had to count my bowls and saucers to determine it was a bowl that had broken!!!!!

ETA: After many years of stoneware, I went back to Corelle a few years ago. Love that it's lightweight and easier to handle.
