Can I get an answer to why these are called glass but made of plastic?

They call it "plastic glass" for the same reason they call it "unbreakable" -- it is the triumph of marketing over reality. Just as these are not glass in the common sense of the term, neither are they likely to be the victor in battle with a sledgehammer. But they are fine mugs, just about as clear as glass, and do a very good job of keeping liquids hot or cold.

For the same reason credit cards are called "Platinum" and they are really plastic

They are glass, nice and heavy. We have used them repeatedly and love them.

I don't know. They were heavy and nice. It was just that the mold wasn't good so you could tell where they put the halves of the glass together. This was several years ago. They could have changed. Thanks

The tubes that I purchased are plastic. I have purchased them twice and both times I have gotten plastic. There are other tubes that are glass however they are a different type, more like a test tube.

Yes, they're made of glass. We use them for fermenting foods, making tea and storing food items.

The one I ordered last week was glass. Before that it was plastic. Seems to be luck of the draw...

It's glass. These are usually for food storage. I can't imagine Libbey not meeting those requirements.Libbey would need to be contacted to find out specific information.

The one's I bought were glass. Installed and works great. I did have to re-alight , they were too high.

They are made with plastic, not glass. I just began using them over the weekend, and they appear very durable. I am really glad I purchased this product because I like to get all my ingredients set up before I start cooking, and these little beakers will enable me to pre-measure out flavorings and extracts.

IT'S GLASS!!!! Not Plastic, and I'm POSITIVE. I have several of them, and they are ALL GLASS.When I purchased 2 of them one time, one had been shattered into a million pieces in the mail. Trust me, it's glass.

Plastic. Nobody these days has the "balls" to sell the glass ones we grew up with. Remember the metal Lawn Jarts?? :)

The first one I ordered a couple months ago was in plastic. The second one I ordered a few weeks ago came in glass. Getting ready to order the tie breaker and will let you know!

I believe they are plastic. I'm sorry for your issue, hopefully you can find replacements.

They are made out of something other than ordinary plastic. Silicon is my best guess, they era so flimsy and difficult to handle I can't recommend them. If bpa is what you find in the cheapest of products...my guess is it's in these items.

I'm not positive but think they are made of plastic. I'm sure they are not Styrofoam.
