My mother has 2 of your 1 gallon pitchers that she uses for iced tea. The ones she has are both tan in color with a white top. She has been looking for another as her old ones are getting a little stained after all the years of wonderful service. Unfortunately it sounds like the new "Classic Pitchers" simply do not live up to the originals. The clear/frosted plastic is a terrible idea and the handles do not extend all the way to the bottom as her originals do. Clearly the new design is not living up to the high standards we Rubbermaid fans have come to expect over the years. Quit doing things on the cheap and go back to the original design and quality. Then you will have another customer here and I am sure many more happy customers who will buy even more Rubbermaid products. Remember...QUALITY COUNTS!!!
