       You remember these glasses from your last trip to #France, I guess. Here’s the interesting story: Duralex, the manufacturer, was heading for liquidation. Investors that wanted to buy it existed, but they wanted to fire a lot of employees. So the court agreed to a different solution: create a cooperative, make Duralex workers owned. Now give them a hand and buy their glasses instead of the typical IKEA stuff, ok? :) https://eu.duralex.com/en-eu/collections/all-our-products#Duralex #cooperative #WorkersUnited

       I just bought a bunch of their square food containers. Glass is superior to plastics, IMHO, and their glass containers are actually cheaper than some influencer-hyped plastic food prep stuff, so that’s a no-brainer to me :)

       Why square? Because they are a good compromise between storage space used v content storage offered. Round is definitely more pretty on the table, though.

       @jwildeboer Famous brand here in France. We all have drink on these glasses at school. Duralex glasses are ugly, but last basically forever.
