Here is a brief intro into what they are using for this test.  It is actually an A/B test where just two variables are compared, and in this case typical glass vs. the new kind:

In the test, we will use two steel balls and two glasses for shattering. The first glass is made of the new type of glass, while the second one is made of ordinary glass that is currently used.

TRITAN PROTECT is a further development of our TRITAN Crystal Glass with double protection technology: the stem surface is specially tempered to enhance overall durability and breaking resistance. The treatment protects glasses against wear in the dishwasher and helps to prevent damage if they topple over.

I wonder if this will catch on as it seems promising.  What do you think?  Feel free to comment.

We will be updating on any new deployments of this inventive glass.
