<p>If your DD or DS is in an apartment using shall-we-say unusual dishes, the deal of the day today (Nov 20) on Amazon.com is pretty good. I know Corelle is not exactly beautiful but I highly value unbreakable for students. $17.99 for a pretty full service for four, about $36 for service for 8. (Cheaper than WalMart) </p>

<p>This link shows the 23 lovely $17.99 sets. I think that “rainbow” Memphis set with blue mugs is kind of cute.

<p>Thanks! I bought two sets for the break room at our biz.</p>

<p>Corelle breaks just fine - as I know having only a couple of pieces left. It shatters into a million jillion pieces if you drop it on our tile floor. Much worse than regular China - almost like an explosion.</p>

<p>Wow, thanks for the link, I will definitely be picking up a set!</p>

<p>I’ve had some Corelle dishes break and it is indeed like an explosion . . . tiny slivers of sharp glass everywhere! But usually it doesn’t break on me. :)</p>

<p>I sort of wish it would break easier. I have 30 year old Corelle plates and bowls. To make it harder to justify replacing, my husband worked for Corning Glass works when we were first married and we stocked up on even more when we lived near Corning at the company store.</p>

<p>Encourage your kids to do experiments where they drop it from ever greater heights? ;)</p>

<p>KathieP: I give stuff like that to the organizations that set up housing for homeless women. They’d be thrilled.</p>

<p>kathiep~ mine is 30 years old too and looks as good now as it did then. I am really tempted by some of the designs, though. They are so pretty!</p>

<p>Thanks for the tip, I was wondering what to get my son for his B-day. I got him pots and pans last year…ordered the Corelle Dots for his birthday in 2 weeks!</p>

<p>Guess it was a good deal - they’re sold out!</p>
