Interesting video. Its nice that its stronger than regular glass, but I
would have liked to see them push it until it did break.

Was this video made in 1987? It sure sounds and looks like it.

I would not be surprised. The product was developed in 1962.

It has properties that are not dissimilar to the original Pyrex, which is
borosilicate glass (still available as cookware in Europe, but it's not the
Pyrex sold for that purpose today in the US). "Gorilla glass" is
aluminosilicate.


Anchor Hocking still makes & sells borosilicate glass products in the
US. A search on their site gives 442 hits so you're wrong, yet again.
