Do You Like Glass Drinking Cups or Plastic Ones?

Oh wow I'm sorry that you had that experience! I drink out of whatever is clean at the moment! We have 7 people living in our house and the dishwasher is constantly running, so you pretty much get what you get here in my house. I try to keep the same glass throughout an entire day though, to prevent from having to wash as much. It is much more difficult to get the little ones to do that though, as they are the ages of 5 and 8. They aren't the best of listeners either, but then again, when are little siblings ever good listeners? I haven't had the honor of having a younger sibling actually listen in quite a while.

I guess I prefer glass because it looks a lot more elegant. But now they have those plastic ones that look like glass and they are nice also. I tend to break the glass ones quickly though, being that I am very clumsy, LOL.

That sounds like a horrific and very frightening experience cats and I totally understand why you no longer want to drink out of a glass! I do have some plastic drinking cups in the house but then who with kids doesn't? I still prefer drinking out of a glass myself but that is more about the feel of it than anything else! xxx

it really doesn't matter to me whether it's the glass cups or plastic ones, although the plastic ones are so much easier to clean. straight to the garbage can..LOL! best way to go, but i don't always have them around the house. i try and get them though as much as possible as my kids are like water fountains and constantly have to have something to drink. God bless

I use glass cups, not because it looks elegant or anything. It's because with glass cups it's reusable and cheaper in the long run. For plastic ones, they are easy to break and are just mostly used for parties or gatherings. It is a pretty scary experience, with what you had but don't let one cup bother you though... The chance of it happening again would be less than 5%.

I like the visceral feel of glass against my lips and teeth especially for cold drinks with ice or the feel of good ceramic in my hands when the drink is warm. However i like and appreciate the durability of some plastics.

I prefer glass cups. I find them easy to clean and more hygenic to use.

i hate drinking from plastic cups. they just dont seem like they get as clean as a glass does. but thats probably a quirk of my own brain, then plastic being unclean lol! ive never had one break while i was drinking, and i can totally understand how that would scare you off of glass! i do tend to occasionally break glasses when im washing them though, usually trying to get my hand and the sponge all the way to the bottom and then it breaks along the side of my palm. never been cut from that yet though. keyword being YET lol!

I am the total opposite, Cats! I try to never drink from plastic if I can help it. I find plastic to be distasteful and possibly even unhealthy. I do know many people, however, who use plastic as their main drinking vessels.

I like drinking with a glass. Because sometimes I feel a little strange smell of the plastic cup. Besides, it's not very easy to clean it well. Glass is always so easy to clean and you can see whether it's really clean.

That was quite an experience. I don't really have a preference. We have Tupperware cups and glass cups at home. But I don't like drinking with disposable plastic cups.

it doesnt matter to me either drinking cups or plastic ones as long as nobody used that before and i know it is clean .

For me, it doesn't really matter. But if let's say, I would be entertaining guests in the house, I would like to use glass, because aesthetics

I choose glass over plastic. My mom has this thing in which she would not want to drink using plastic cups, for her they don't get thoroughly cleaned. This habit (?) stuck on me so you wouldn't see plastic cups in my cupboard. Well, maybe until I have my own child, I would never even think of letting her use glass cups.

I have never heardd of a glass breaking in someones mouth! i would have been just as scared and i think i'd have to switch to plastic as well. Do you ask for plastic cups when you go to a resteraunt ? or its okay for you as long as you have a straw ? I like drinking from glass better the plastic. I find that plastic cups holds the smell of some things.. like strong juices and stuff.

Oh my goodness, I'd be terrified of glasses after such an experience! I used to drink out of the glass type cups, but would worry I would get bumped by someone and chip a tooth. And as I didn't want to go through this worry with my kids I decided to switch to plastic cups when my oldest was a toddler. We've been using plastic cups ever since.

That is horrible, breaking in your mouth as you were drinking. If it happened to me I'd be traumatized too. However, I think it is just a fluke and doesn't happen too often so I wouldn't worry about it. I will keep on drinking from a glass. Plastic has a smell that I don't like.
