Edit again: I looked at the second pic and now I have no idea what those are.

Aspartame was not used in the 1980s except in canned drinks after 1984. Everything else, not until the 90s.

Recommendations for BIFL containers to purchase now?

No evidence it causes cancer

Fax! Plus i feel like they’d appreciate the relics. and it’s their non-bifl product so the shame may play in your favor

Better to be bummed than to be sick. Old plastic degrades something fierce after a while, especially when exposed to sun. It's no wonder you can smash through old Dodge dashboards with your bare hands after a few decades.

amazing! These will last you a lifetime

I hate these so much, unless you want soapy tasting food

I’d use them for other things - screws, nuts, bolts, fishing tackle, stickers, coins…

Glad youre happy but this is definitely not bifl imo

You get them bad boys off Uncle Rico?

The reason I thought I hated orange juice until I was an adult and had the real thing

right, its not like you get 1 year out of a pair, but then get 2 years with two by rotating. If you rotate you might get more than 2. Shoes not being able to dry out is a huge reason they fall apart more quickly.

Is r/DarnToughCirclejerk a sub yet?

But in all seriousness, that’s awesome. Best gift ever

Yeah agreed. No shoe is made to be worn every day. Not to mention the bacteria buildup that happens, it’s not hygienic. Even the most expensive pair of Alden’s needs to be given a break.

Iirc, the red, orange, and opaque yellow ones contain mercury based pigments. The science is still out about whether or not they can leech heavy metals, but I personally don't want to risk it.

You don’t burp the square Tupperware.

If it’s round, it needs a sound.

If it’s Square, give it air.

Just an FYI: Borosilicate glass is and has always been very easy to break from physical impact. The og Pyrex was no different. Pyrex changed it to Sodalime glass because modern everyday usage of glass cookware saw much more breakage from slight drops or impacts.

Yes, sodalime is much more sensitive to temperature gradients but we just don’t make many frozen casseroles anymore or really have a need to take a dish from a freezer to an over like they used to.

Tupperware will replace some of the older stuff even if it’s not cracked, chipped, broken or peeling. It never hurts to ask.

Always threw them in the cooler, worked well for us 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think it holds a dozen but it’s been awhile.

No, we haven't seen your Dad, I'm sure he'll be back from getting milk and smokes soon.

James Ince Umbrellas. Some made in Germany, some in Italy.

Go on eBay and get two Greats Royale full leather sneakers. You can get 2 probably new or near new solid construction shoes for about $100. Those two rotated will probably last you longer than 2 years worn daily

You can still BIFL as long as you don't mind it reducing the length of your life.

Those are adidas gazelles. They are my favorite. I’m wearing an identical pair right now. They sell them online at Zappos.

Edit: also check PoshMark.
