I didn't actually buy anything from them, but they do have a website
and I went as far as seeing the "add to cart" button, I expect
you can buy it from them without having to go to a party or
deal with a person.

About half of them have either ended up as storage containers for
non food items, or are in the fridge held together with rubber

The Israeli ones are worse, not only do they split, crack or harden,
but they also have the same problem with the lids.
