The most surprising thing to me is that Pyrex alone isn't able to carry the entire corporation. They've also got Corelle and CorningWare. What the fuck, guys?

Pyrex isn't the draw it used to be. People know that it's not as good now as it used to be (even if it's still fine), so they're not loyal to the brand when it comes time for replacements.
