I've been a ZipLoc fan since they came out.
One ( square ) lid fits all, one ( round ) lid fits all.
Then they "imoroved the product" and the new/old lids
are not interchangeable with the new/old containers.
Grrrrr.... Wrote an eMail complaint to Mr.ZipLoc,
got the usual "envelope of coupons" as a mea-culpa.

I had a short romance with the RubberMaid ( red lid ) containers.
Within three weeks, four failures. ( cracks ).
Surprising ! RubberMaid is usually "good stuff"

I'm back to ZipLoc. ( using up the old ones first )
Then toss 'em when they really get ratty
from the spaghetti/microwave connection.
