You remember these glasses from your last trip to #France, I guess.

I just bought a bunch of their square food containers. Glass is superior to plastics, IMHO, and their glass containers are actually cheaper than some influencer-hyped plastic food prep stuff, so thatβs a no-brainer to me

@jwildeboer Must look out for shops that carry them. And I think they should consider purchising power...

@jwildeboer @dascandy the basic problem with duralex as a business in capitalism is that their products last forever so you donβt ever need to replace them.

@jwildeboer I've been having a hard time finding good juice glasses, like 6 oz. These are lovely, and come in many sizes. AND ship to the US for not much more than you'd pay for something shipped from here. They're reasonably priced too.

Sigh! Not the UK, what a surprise -

@jwildeboer I bought a set of these glasses many years ago and love them deeply. These are what glasses are supposed to be.

Are these the mythical unbreakable glasses I've been hearing about?!?

@float13 They are definitely not unbreakable, I can tell from personal experience But they don't break that easy, due to being tempered.

Why square? Because they are a good compromise between storage space used v content storage offered. Round is definitely more pretty on the table, though.

@julesbl @jwildeboer Yeah, and both our countries have but themselves to blame with some astounding voting behaviour. Not that this makes it any better for the people that voted differently. π₯Ή

@jwildeboer They should fix their translations, though. Can't tell about Dutch, but all other languages except French are wrong ("lot de 6" β "lot of 6" instead of "set of 6", etc.)
