I was looking at bowls for cereal at Walmart. I see two styles I would buy. One is ceramic with a glaze and the other blue glass. The ceramic will chip easier. The glass is thick and seems like quality. The ceramic is $1.50 and made in China. I look at the glass and it's $1.00 and made in USA by Pyrex! What the? Here we have a time tested brand name quality USA product of a superior material selling for 33% less on the same shelf. I thought it was a mistake.
I'll bet the blue glass is curdled milk proof too.

I always wonder how much lead is in the China ceramic.

The ability to speak several languages is an asset, but the ability to keep your mouth shut in any language is priceless.
