LOL! That's quite a coincidence. If you didn't know, the green was called
"Jadite". Actually, back in the decades prior to the 1970s, Fire King /
Anchor Hocking, was at least as popular if not more so than Pyrex.

In todays market, I really prefer the Fire King measuring cups over Pyrex.
I don't like the open handles on the Pyrex cups. Fire King has the old
closed loop style.
