        I got a Betty Crocker borosilicate glass casserole baking pan at the Dollar store. I’ve used it several times, and it hasn’t broken. If a Dollar store can sell glass cookware at a profit, how many fractional pennies did they save by making these glass mugs?

    It’s a feature. “Disposable mugs, just add hot water and run. Never wash a mug again!”
