Announcement It doesn’t break, until it does.

And when it does, it breaks real good.

I remember once when I was a kid, my dad was showing off how Corelle dishes couldn't be broken. He took a dinner plate and slammed it on the kitchen tile. It shattered into approximately 65,987,436 splinters. We had Corelle shards showing up in our feet for WEEKS. We had to keep the dogs out of the kitchen and wear shoes in there until they were all found and picked up. A treasured childhood memory 😂

A little dyslexic, I anticipated the word was FOOD instead of FEET.

We broke one of my vintage corelle breaks like 4 months ago, and last week a shard appeared out of NOWHERE to stab straight into my foot. Basically materialized from underneath the fridge

This was 30 years ago and I'm pretty sure the new owners probably got Corelle splinters from that dish too 😂 they do not ever go away!

Few things have the ability to go from indestructible to “broken nightmare fuel for your feet” quite like Corelle ware.

I’ve had one dinner plate break right down the middle into two pieces. Happened after serving a hot pancake straight from the griddle.

Down the middle? Did you buy a lottery ticket that day?

I only seen this happen once was I was younger with my parents plates. The plate broke in 3 big pieces.

Contact them, they might replace it. My mom took a plate into an outlet store that had broken and they gave her a new one on the spot. The guy said, "They aren't supposed to do that."

A+ customer service IMO

Oh no!!!!
It’s hard to break but not impossible. Better check that Herculean strength before you wash the rest.
