Default Why did Pyrex discontinue these?

Here's a picture from Froogle in compressed url form:

I'm not sure what to call them. They're small glass dishes with
wonderful glass lids and they have tabs to hold onto. Anyone else here
love these things, too?

They are hard to find these days, and you have to live with the dated
patterns on them (which is no problem), but it seems like Pyrex could
make a haul on these. They're perfect for leftovers! All you can find
nowadays are glass dishes with some awful plastic lids that warp, or
discolor, or stain, or melt, or don't fit right, etc. And the new ones
aren't good sizes for leftovers or don't have much for tabs to grab
onto when hot.

Should I lobby Pyrex to bring them back, or is there another company
that makes these things?
