The Duralex Game - The game was a lie! (Now 50).

Lies, damn lies and Duralex mould numbers…

50

Wait... What....

Do the numbers actually mean something?

The rumour is it's the mould, but that's never officially been confirmed.

I wonder if that 50 is a counterfeit.... Although I did hear a rumour that they do go up to 48, not 40. (I've never personally seen higher than 39).

By the way, you are all bastards as I'm not in France. So can't go to action and buy cheap glasses to get all the numbers.

Hope this is about the post immediately before this?

Nope - I own that one and it was a legit purchase.

Yes, yes it was.

I didn't even know they did sizes so small!

Apparently there are 50 Duralex numbers.

Not looking good for the company just now, energy price rises hit badly a couple of years ago, and insolvency proceedings ("redressement judiciare") started last month.

Well that's shit.

Forum purchase?

Do you mean panic buy a few boxes of Picardie glasses, or do you mean buy out the company...?

I'd love to get the Paris 2024 Picardie set, but they only sell it in France.

So the whole company....

What is it worth to get a set?

About €18 a set I think.

Ah

Looks like Duralex is going to be / has been bought out by staff and will become a cooperative

That's good news, nice to see an iconic big company not either go to the wall or be bought by Mike Ashley.
