I just picked up a stack of bowls while helping a friend move from her house. My experience was the bowls always go first. Lol!
I gave my son and his wife my old set of Corelle when we moved 7 years ago. The dishes were purchased in the 80's and are now serving the third generation!
I guess I have been lucky, No chips for 30 years,
Yes, they do break - lost another one just last week! Corelle and tile floors are not a good match!
