You know of many ceramic plates that are used less than 100 times?

  Yes, the new one I bought a month ago, then dropped it on my tiled kitchen floor smashing it into its component molecule parts. :)

    Well, floorless kitchens are pretty hipster as well

    So you know one, but you don't know many. ;-)

That's very few actually, given that people eat on average 365 times a day, and said plates last for decades. They only get replaced when someone drops them or when their owners decide they're too worn and ugly.

  Eat...365 times...per day
  - testingonprod 12y ago
    Yeah that sounds like a bit much. Honestly for me, I max out at 4 a day, I really can't do much more than that even if they're small meals. I don't get how people do it 365 times a day, but then again I was never much of an eater.

      It's all in the hips.

  I agree that people on average use their plates way more often than 50 times, but 365 times a "day" might be a bit much, even for the USA^^ SCNR

I've been interested in this argument for some time. Does anyone have any additional sources here?
