Saw Amazon's deal of the day for Pyrex storage containers, so headed over and saw some negative reviews for their product that I've used for years without issue. Turns out folks are upset that Pyrex no longer makes their products with the same glass they used to, switching from borosilicate to soda lime glass. I think I'm equally upset that companies go cheap to increase profit margins as I am upset that people are lamenting "the good old days" when glassware would survive any amount of misuse and lack of care. People are upset that the new glass doesn't stand up to temperature changes, such as when you take it out of the fridge and pop it in the microwave, and are concerned about the possibility of their glassware randomly exploding even with careful use.
I can't say which is more frustrating to me. We're talking about glass here people. The stuff breaks. Take care of how you handle it, instead of blaming it on the manufacturer when you drop your glassware and it doesn't survive.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
