I think they used the same kind of fiber clamshell, which was great until the food oozed right through it and into spouse's scooter truck on the 3 mile return trip. I hope you had better luck with yours! I am still looking to replace my plastic food storage containers at home with Pyrex, but have decided to try to find the glass items used. I think it's better to keep using the old plastic rather than buy new glass, as the environmental costs of new manufacturing need to be considered. Once we switch to glass, the plastic containers will become parts/odds and ends storage. I'm all for reducing plastic, but if it still has lots of life in it, why toss it? On our last visit to an airport, the only dining option was California Pizza Kitchen, where one could order a tasty, healthy salad in a giant plastic clamshell or evil, greasy carb-loaded pizza in a cardboard box. Of course, we took the earth-friendly high road and chose to honor Mother Earth rather than our diet. I blame you, Scott. We had dinner in Moab a couple nights ago at a place called Buck’s.
