Did yours also get fucked up in the microwave but still used for food anyway? That thing’s gotta be at least 50% of the microplastics in my brain.
Herc and Megara went through college with me, moved back into my mom's with me, through a couple apartments and into my first home before they finally split in half in the dishwasher.
Wait... Was I a poor kid?

Are those from the US? Never seen any of them. My sauerkraut got served on this badboy growing up:
Yeah, unfortunately even the fediverse suffers from a heavy dose of US defaultism.
I've got more people assuming I'm an American here than I ever did on Reddit. I think a specific of type of online leftists just assumes you're from the US if you don't agree with them, because of course there's the countries they support and then there's the US and nobody else lol

I think delftware isn't as popular in the US, which is unfortunate because I love how they look.
Yea, Corelle is glass dish ware made in Corning, New York. The same place they make Pyrex and Gorilla Glass phone screens.

None of the above.
ARABIA POTTERY, Finland. 1960s RUSKA
Absolutely indestructible. Drop it on the tiles, cracks the tiles.
You can have it in any colour, as long as it's Brown.
Drop it on your foot, it breaks your foot, but the food remains intact!
Throw it in a volcano, the volcano erupts, but the plate is fine and the food is slightly warmer

just a PSA for those of you unaware; these plates up until 2004 contained lead paint. If you're using these plates, uh. dont. Use them as decorations or get rid of them immediately.
Source (check the FAQ for the question about lead)
Came here to say this. I only recently found out and got rid of all my #7's immediately. I don't think I'll accept hand-me-down plates anymore after that.

#4
I forgot my mom even had those dishes.
One of them with lead paint.

Lucky number 7.
9 through the 80s & 90s, then my parents graduated to 8 after the remaining 9s broke one by one
7, and my “little” brother still has it 40 years later because he doesn’t want to spend money on dishes
8 at home, 7 at grandparents. 4 is also super familiar, but I don’t have a firm memory.
7 all the way
8
Seven!
My parents had #5; my grandmother had #1, I think. Why were these so ubiquitous?
I've never seen any of these dishes before.
7
Still have them. Parents gifted a bunch when I moved out
My folks still have 9. I have a set that's just blank.
9 and I still have them
One grandma had 4 and the other had 7. My parents kept a chaotic mix of whatever was on sale.
6 and 7

something in-between 5 and 9, don't remember exactly
Patternless. Plain white. Which works well, because if you break a plate you don’t have to worry about whether they still make that pattern.
