Chinet 8 3/4" Paper Plates All Occasion (225 ct.)

I have been buying chinet plates for many years. Even though they're more expensive than regular plates, I felt they were worth it because they were leak proof and much stronger. However the last two packages that I've purchased have been very disappointing. It used to be that I could put pretty much any food on one of these plates and heat it up and it came out fine. Now, no matter what I'm reheating, it soaks through the bottom of the plate to the point of where I have to put another plate underneath it. If I'm going to have to wash a plate I might as well just eat on a regular plate. The first time it happened I thought it was a fluke or the food was just too oily, but it even does it with non-oily foods. When I was googling to see if anybody else has had this problem, I also learned that these plates contain PFAS. I wasn't aware of that because I tried to avoid toxins. It looks like I'm going to have to give up chinet because a little convenience is not worth being poisoned.

I just bought a new bag of these plates because I only had a few left from a bag I bought a couple of years ago. Wow, has the quality gone downhill. The new bag of plates are flimsy and have wrinkles in them. The bottom no longer has the reinforced texture, they are now smooth. Unbelievable, will look to purchase other brands before spending the money on this junk.
