Costco shoppers are in a frenzy over a set of glass storage containers that are flying off the shelves. Social media users have been buzzing about an Instagram video posted by a fan of the wholesaler, which has gone viral with over 1.2 million views.

The highly sought-after product, called 'Ello Meal Prep Glass Food Storage Containers,' has been making headlines recently. This 10-piece set includes five glass containers and five leak-proof lids.

Featuring silicon-made removable bands, the set ensures the protection of the glass containers from chipping or breaking. Not only that, but the containers themselves can withstand oven temperatures up to 450°F and are also safe for use in the microwave.

These storage containers are not just meant for storage but are versatile for meal prep and other food staging necessities. They can be safely used in the refrigerator and freezer, making them a must-have for any kitchen.

Costco's website describes these 3.4 cup containers as having different colored lids and silicone protection bases, adding a touch of fun to the process of keeping track of your prepped meals. And that's not all, they are also made of tempered glass, making them resistant to stains and odors.

The containers' leak-proof lids lock in place, ensuring that food remains fresher for longer periods of time. With a video posted on Instagram by @costcobuys hitting an astounding 1.2 million views, Costco fans have taken to the comments section to share their thoughts on this amazing kitchen item.

While many shoppers are ecstatic about the set, which is priced at $28.99 online and a mere $19.99 in-store, there is a hint of controversy surrounding the product. A few users have expressed concerns about the size of the containers, claiming they aren't big enough for their intended purpose.

For instance, an Instagram user pointed out that the containers look too small for meal prep. Another user responded by comparing the container's size to a standard meal prep container, stating that the 'Ello Meal Prep Glass Food Storage Containers' are indeed smaller.

But size aside, these glass containers continue to inspire awe among Costco enthusiasts. With demand so high, it's no surprise that the product has become harder to find. In fact, comments on the viral video suggest that the containers are no longer available in all Costco locations.

For those unable to find the set at Costco, it's worth noting that the same Ello product is being sold at other retailers such as Walmart, Amazon, and Target. Prices online range from $26 to $40.

FOX Business reached out to both Costco and @costcobuys for comment, but there has been no response thus far. As the excitement surrounding these viral glass storage containers continues to grow, it's clear that they have become a must-have item for many shoppers craving convenience and style in their kitchens.
