Just noticed everyone grabbing those cheap glass food containers without checking the lids
I was at Dollar Tree on Tuesday and watched like 5 people grab the glass meal prep containers without even looking at the lids. The plastic ones they use now crack super fast, I had 3 of them split after just 2 weeks of normal use. You gotta feel the rubber seal around the edge, if its too thin or uneven skip it. Anyone else had these lids fall apart on you or did I just get a bad batch?

Yeah I gotta push back a little on "without checking the lids" - most people probably don't know the rubber seal can even be bad. Dollar Tree's glass containers used to come with silicone lids that lasted forever, but the new plastic ones are trash. Did you check the seal on yours before buying?

Dollar Tree really dropped the ball switching those lids. I've got old ones still going strong from like 2018 and the new ones crack after two dishwasher cycles. The silicone was way more forgiving on the seal too, you could overtighten and it still popped shut smooth. Now you gotta baby them or they leak everywhere. Total downgrade.
