A classic soda-lime glass liquid measuring cup with printed measurement markings, a common fixture in American kitchens for decades.

Why it's buy-it-for-life
Owners report using the same Anchor Hocking glass measuring cup for 15+ years or more without it breaking. Soda-lime glass is more resistant to impact damage than borosilicate, so the cup mainly fails if dropped; the printed measurement lettering wears off over years of dishwasher use but the cup keeps working fine.

I really don't use measuring cups that don't have measurement lines on the inside that allow you to pour from above and see
