JMyint: Haven’t seen it in quite a while (and it seemed dated then) but yeah, I remember it.

Has anyone seen the movie “The Man in the White Suit” starring Alec Guiness. He invents a fabric that never gets dirty and throws the English textile industry into a panic.

We had a square melamine set for camping. Do NOT drink coffee out of a square mug without turning it so the corner lines up with your mouth. Burning camper smells pretty bad too.

It’s true. I used to have a cool set of melamine plates. One thing I learned quick is that melamine is NOT microwavable. I have never found anything that smells worse than burnt microwaved melamine.

Er, “A Nonymous”- Melamine is actually a fairly common ‘hard’ plastic these days. Most non-disposable plastic plates etc are melamine. Vintage 1950s melamine dinnerware is actually COLLECTIBLE.

Melamine survives to the present day as the adulterant in Chinese animal feed that resulted in so many pet deaths recently.

In barracks, we used to have an extra blanket (that had to be folded just so for inspections) that was referred to as a “fire blanket” as you were supposed to grab it and run in case of fire. Rumors abounded about them being so treated as to be flammable, but I don’t recall anyone testing one.

Melamine: when rayon just isn’t flammable enough. Solves that age-old problem of surviving plane crashes without fourth-degree burns.
