Can they slice tomatoes too?If they were BB brand, they have a big clear stick-on label that it's likely you would remember. So they might not have been BB's. Were they bluish, whitish or clear? BB's are perfectly clear. They're thin, but also pretty tough. I've purchased three starting around 3 years ago, and with the exception of one that I accidentally drained 170F water into, they are still in perfect shape and serving me well except for some scuffs on the outside bottom that don't affect anything. Even the 170F one just got malformed a bit and I still use it for pre-boil stuff like collecting water from the RO filter or holding sanitizer.If you have any doubts, just buy one and I think you'll be a convert. They are SO much better than glass - in piece of mind if nothing else. I know that when I work with glass I'm always super careful and always plan out my walk paths and stuff even when they're empty. I'm always extra careful when washing because they're slippery when wet. Glass just makes me nervous, even though I've never been cut (though I have had one break). There is a heightened stress level, I guess, that just isn't present with BB's. I've literally tossed a BB (empty) a few feet because I needed to get it out of the way ASAP to stop something overflowing. It hit, tottered and fell over, but that was it; I've used it 100 times since then. You can also safely pressurize a BB with CO2 to move beer without worrying about overpressure shattering it.The only flaw they have, IMO, is that they will suck back the contents of an airlock if lifted while full. However, I think your brew hauler would solve even that little problem.I sound like I own stock in the company, I know, but I'm very impressed with these things. I would go so far as to say that replacing glass with BBs is the single most cut-and-dried improvement in equipment since I started brewing 5-ish years ago. In that time, I've heard of dozens of brewers who've switched to BB's and got rid of all their glass. Conversely, I've never heard of a BB brewer switching back to glass.
I might get one just to try. Cheers,Rich
I won't make that mistake twice. Still drank the beer too 
I love my Better Bottles. Especially my ported ones. Another vote for the BBs here.
