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.

Not since 1998, Michael. Read what I said above. Pyrex cookware sold in the
US today is tempered soda lime glass, and has been for over a decade. That's
why Anchor Hocking doesn't call their glass products "Pyrex."

Once again, in your desperate quest to prove your superiority, you've stuck
your foot in your mouth.

Check your facts, Michael. You should know better by now.
