      I crashed my boat into a rock. PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE.

      Yeah this one was easy to break. I originally up voted the post, but quickly changed my mind.

      Hmm… maybe. You should look up East German Superfest glass. Big dishware producers refused to use it because it meant not selling replacement dishes.

      Though, OP’s argument is just dumb.

      Now that you mention it, we live in the future! Where are my indestructible, microwave-safe, and machine-wash safe plates? Don’t say plastic, those get weird with high temperatures.

        Superfest made them. None of the glass makers and distributers would buy them because they were practically indestructible, so they couldn’t see infinite sales.

      You transport the dishes, sure, but do you eat from them while standing? I was specifically referring to handheld devices.
