Default dropped plugs

i dropped my spark plugs on the floor ... prob 1 or 2 feet, they were in the box when they fell.... i was just wondering if anything could have happened to them , they look fine to me , i just dont know how fragile sprk plugs are ... let me know if they should be ok before i put them in

there are those little cardbored cirle things that cover the part thats gapped so i think that should be ok... i held them up to the light and they all looked the same so i hope they are good... no cracks either... man u could crack a sparkplug? i didnt know that... they are made out of metal... id assume they are pretty hard to damage now that i think about it

ive been throwing this NGK plug around, i already screwde this one up so it doesnt matter... dropping it on the floor etc and nothing is happening to it... it looks like youd have to throw it with full force down on cement pavement in order for it to break
