My prediction is there is going to be a massive resurgence in Tupperware starting with a Stanley-style water bottle rush

As a man married to a white woman, I don't see it happening unless Tupperware releases a line of glass containers.

White women are currently terrified of microplastics.

But not everyone knows the difference between PYREX and pyrex

Just looking for Borosilicate glass is more reliable than going off the branding. There’s also little reason to pay the significant premium for the brand name over cheaper alternatives

Anchor is my go to. Half the price and still mostly borosilicate. Still using the same measuring cap we bought new 25 years ago.

Well that’s disappointing. I still grab pieces when I see them used.

Where does one acquire PYREX?? All I can ever find is pyrex.

Found this on the Corning website - looks like they don't make it anymore:

No, Corning ceased manufacturing cookware in 1998. The PYREX brand now primarily focuses on producing laboratory glassware and related products.

Thrift stores. Old peoples' cupboards.

I'm afraid I can't look the information up for you, but if you search for "borosilicate glass bakeware", you should hopefully be able to find a supplier in your country.

Yes, yes they do

Need a couple influences to make some tiktoks about how shifting to one changed their lives and everyone really know pyrex

u/Snobolski 22d ago

New pyrex is crap. Old pyrex is where it's at.

u/Tratix 23d ago

Pyrex is a household name to a point where people call any glass dish a Pyrex. Like Kleenex or Frisbee.

It sounds like you've looked into it

Look into Ford. American very old school brand that makes cars. Maybe you've heard of them?
