In the 50s you had a big focus on quality at high cost because people remembered how important it was to have things that did not wear out in the depression era. Today we are far more focused on buying based on economics than for quality. No, not a lot of things we buy at Target or Lowe's will last 40 years, but it's so cheap that it doesn't really matter.

All Dutch ovens are BIFL. Ceramic not so much. Even Le Creuset and Staub can have failed ceramic after decades or from accidental bumps and scrapes. Warranties help with this but truly BIFL pieces are bare iron which will last centuries unchanged if not physically broken.

Again, please don't be upset. I'm only sharing common knowledge.

What's confusing about it? Plastic is the lightest, most durable, most cost effective material for grocery bags. In the western world they are disposed of in state of the art landfills and every bag you use in your life will be less waste than the last mattress or couch you threw out.

Don't be upset

Plastic bags will always be ideal for groceries. No way around that.

I have a Khun Rikon that uses glass and ceramic.

Speakers aren't BIFL but Sonos is just bliss. All of their products are great.

Shirts aren't BIFL but Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss will last longer than most
