How do these survive shipping? Are they cracked or crumbled?

One or two of the cakes were slightly dented at a corner, but it was very minor. Otherwise, all the cakes were in great condition and the birds love them. The dents did not cause much if any crumbling.

The box of these I received were nearly all completely smashed due to poor shipping packaging. What was not broken I immediately sent back. I'm sorry I cannot tell you.

They're not meant to be disposable. With proper care, they'll last a long time. One package is sufficient.

Not sure if I'd say brittle, but they are pretty thin aluminum. They will only last a winter season, but they hold up much better than the non aluminum ones. I've had both and like these much better.

I'll be blunt, not a chance. They will be crushed in my opinion. They are hollow. Hope this helps.

They have been dropped on the floor and rolled around on the floor of the car. I have four - two big ones and two huge. None have busted. They're just fine. I did take a knife and scrape a few sharp edges off the inside edge. The plastic isn't the brittle sort. They don't fit in a cup-holder but that's fine.

I can see them being fragile if you just drop them after a set, but if you use proper form and place them down somewhat gently, they are fine. There is also a one-year (I think) warranty. I can't comment on the injuries. I haven't experienced any but I am not an expert in that area.

They are plastic. I am trying to think of a scenario where they could be broken. Nope. They appear virtually indestructible.

Yep - they are plastic! I would add that they are a sturdy plastic, probably crack-resistant. My kiddos have dropped them to the floor several times and they did not split or break.

I have not had a problem with them and I received my initial order a couple of months ago. One bag did break, but it was due to my own stupidity and I piled a bunch of heavy stuff on top of a sealed bag stuffed full of coleslaw (overstuffed). I would purchase again.

They are in a small bottle, not individually wrapped. You CAN actually chew them if you want to. I just follow them with a drink of water, because they are very dry. If I want to take a few on the road with me, I just put a few in a little plastic bag with a seal, or even wrap a few in some tin foil. I've never had one break or crumble, but they are soft enough to easily chew.

They're not flimsy, but they are plastic. I don't use them so really can't say that they last or not. Sorry

they withstand heat pretty well, but not super hot. They can warp if you get them too hot.

I think these have a thicker coating than the blister packed ones. I've never had a problem and I have had broken ones in the blister packs.

I'm sorry to say I don't know. Had them for several months and they haven't chipped or crack.

Mine have not gotten crushed. I also have a bag sitting on top of the rolls of paper.

They do not have an indentation for breaking them. I don't think they would break cleanly.
