The shatter resistant glasses you need this summer 

We’ve all been there. Halfway through a balmy summer evening in the backyard—tunes playing in the background, kids splashing around in the pool—you hear it: The alarming sound of one of your favourite glass hitting the patio and smashing into a thousand slivers. And you’re the one who dropped it!  

That scenario belongs in the past, thanks to our new line of . “They are perfect for any outdoor entertaining setup,” says Karla Smith, PC^® product manager who helped bring these products to life for the Summer Insiders Collection.  

If you’re already a fan of the popular PC^® Tritan^TM Oversized Wine Glass, you’ll know they’re made from a unique material that sets these glasses apart from your average plastic tumbler. And yes, we said plastic—even though you probably assumed these extremely chic stemless glasses were made from, well, glass.  

“Tritan^TM is known for its superior glass-like look,” says Smith. But  offer other advantages too, she adds. “Not only are they shatter resistant, but they’re also easy care, meaning they won’t warp or crack in the dishwasher.  

Their durability makes them fantastic for children, although the fact that they’re shaped like trendy stemless wine glasses adds to their appeal for grown-ups. “Stemless is no longer reserved just for wine drinking, which means these glasses are great for everyday dining, and can be dressed up ,” Smith says.  

Speaking of dressing up, Smith particularly enjoys the way the blush tone of the  looks in a table setting. “Accent drinkware is always a nice finishing touch when you’re dressing a table,” she says, noting that the glasses also come in light aqua, smoke, and clear, and are a simple-yet-effective way of updating your summer decor.  

“These glasses are also great to take on-the-go, because they’re lightweight. They’d be a fun addition to an outdoor picnic adventure,” she adds. 

Once it’s safe to gather again, here’s how Smith daydreams of incorporating  into her summer entertaining plans: “I’d host my closest friends and family for a party, and set a table using dinnerware and drinkware from the new Sunbaked collection of PC^® home products for summer,” she says, adding the terracotta dishes and blush  are her top picks. “In my glass, I’d have a cocktail with the new as its star ingredient.”  

And even if that dream doesn’t quite become a reality this summer, Smith is confident that  will add joy to any setting. “Even if we can’t be hosting and this summer party scenario remains out of reach,” she says, “I know that at the very least I can in a pretty glass that makes it feel special.”
