- Fitted sheet must have label on bottom right seam
- Salted butter wrapping text must be red. Unsalted blue.

Bumper height of vehicles.
Glassware must be rated to survive short drop onto wood floor at a minimum.
(The fitted sheets we have do have tags for top and bottom with hanging tag at bottom. I would say just don't give them hanging tags at all.)
For glassware, try buying tempered glass. It's more resistant, but most importantly, when it breaks, it tends to break into cubes rather than into a million little sharp knives.
Bwahaha, I had a tempered measuring cup, a big one I used for pancake batter, stuff like that. One day I gently tapped it with a wooden spoon and it exploded. Pancake batter and (yep, not sharp) tiny pieces of glass everywhere! That was the day I learned tempered glass can store energy. It wasn't that one tap, but every thwack it ever received built up, until it could not store any more and it exploded. Very interesting to learn but very messy.
Interesting. I didn't know. Maybe my glasses will explode one of these days.
Although as long as it doesn't turn into tiny knives that I'll still occasionally find under my feet months later, I wouldn't mind much.
Tried this, they're all broken. Corelle flatware lasted quite awhile, but were still no match for my wife and kids. Everything is now stainless steel.
I'd be worried about microwave compatibility, as well as a metallic taste in my water. How are things, really?
It's fine. No metallic taste since it's not a reactive metal. In the microwave you just have to make sure it doesn't contact the edge. You only get arcing of metal when there are sharp points or loops, which aren't present on a disc.
