Never heard of melmac but as kids we did have a set of Melaware crockery. I remember it vividly; it made a deafening crack noise on the kitchen floor tiles if you dropped it but it never broke or so much as cracked. It was seemingly indestructible and I think my mum still has it and I’d be interested to know if forty + years has caused it to degrade at all.
Kernowdreamer-
All just brand names of melamine stuff as far as I know.

Melaware crockery
Yeah we had these as kids - cereal bowls in 'mushroom'
They stained IIRC but my Mum had discovered that they could be cleaned with a smearing of toothpaste.
There was a smell of toothpaste forever after.
Mildly hated that with me Wheatabix.

Always hated it too, we were a Shredded Wheat family when it came to dry cereals. So invested were we that a set of melmac rectangular bowls were ordered that neatly held two biscuits/bales.
Best way to eat them? Glad you asked - place in bowl, pour boiling water over, drain, add milk and the darkest brown sugar you can find.
