Corelle place settings are supposed to be unbreakable. Corelle lies. They break, or rather explode into hundreds of pieces. I know this because my daughters are breaking unbreakable plates at an unbelievable rate. I am down to 7 from 20 a few years ago. A majority of the explosions have occurred in the last 3 to 4 months. I asked for new place settings for Christmas. We might be eating off of paper for Advent 4.
Corelle is free to use my daughters in quality testing. It is possible, I suppose, that the combination of 6 and 4 year old girls is lethal to dinnerware. Or maybe it's just my kitchen floor--the patina of crumbs, milk spills and marker scribbles sets those plates to pieces.
Whatever. My new plates will not be Corelle.

If I had a Facebook account, I would start a "I Hate Corelle" club, and you could be the second member of it. Yup.
Add me to the list.
I once got a sliver from an exploding Corelle plate in my foot. Ended up in a long-lasting problem, ruined beach vacation, and minor surgery.
Yup. I hate Corelle.
Dear Corelle haters, what is wrong with you? I have had my Corelle for a lifetime and without problem. Maybe they are meant only for special people, but my intent on this comment was to request more pictures...we are suffering here in Hubertus.
Corelle gets brittle with age. No lie. Also, micro-scratches make them more likely to explode, so the dishwasher takes its toll on them. Dumb, I know. Are your plates hand-me-downs?
I hate my Corelle just because I've grown out of the Ivy pattern I registered for 12 years ago.
Poor Mom.
