We have no children in the house but my wife and I like to have plastic glassware so we have something that can go ‘outside’ and if it doesn’t make it back inside(for one reason or another ‘no problem or no great loss’ ! ! ! ! !
Or, your glassware is all “Made in the USA.”The industry is mostly gone now..Why buy new,when there is plenty of vintage US glass available at flea markets and online- everything from art glass and elegant table glass to inexpensive everyday stuff..Want something to last through your kids and grand-kids? Decorated jelly glasses are durable enough to survive most kids (and clumsy adults) – even outside.
I think my dear husband was born a plugger. He’s not really old enough yet, but he never met a plastic cup with writing on it that he didn’t like. And bring home. And store in the cupboard. And never look at again. Sigh…
When I was a hyoung ‘un, gas stations gave out a free glass with fill-up. After awhile, you could collect the whole set. Some of those designs you often see at thrift stores were probably acquired that way. I also remember gas costing 27 cents a gallon. We didn’t know when we had it good.

My MIL had a penchant for pilfering the red drink cups from Pizza Hut. Bless her heart.

Beer! Nobody should ever, ever, ever drink beer out of a plastic tumbler!
It’s just completely wrong IMO…

Some folks with ASD have plastic cups and glasses. It’s a texture issue.
