Yes, but at a certain point in history, they were considered so normal they were everywhere.
There are YouTube channels devoted to making those. But now with epoxy resin.
The ones I’ve seen look machine-made, probably in huge quantities. They’re thin, and look slightly less disposable than a paper coffee cup.
My grandmother used to give me Wheat Thins in these bowls. I miss her. I'm in my early 40s.
Grandmoms are special. ❤️
This is literally what I use daily. Why is everyone talking about this like it's an ancient relic?
They are like station wagons, or the rings of power. Only about 20 were made and they just change hands because they are indestructible.
Three wood laminate bowls were given to the elves for they craved salty snacks
Seven were given to the dwarves, so they could munch deep in their basements
Nine were given to men, to hold their ramen. They later became edgelords, twisted by the dark lord Joe Rogan
One was crafted in secret, and holds Cheetos in the white house.
Some hobbit in 3000 years will get one and use it to display their fresh fruit collection
We’ve all moved on to using hard plastic popcorn containers instead of bowls for holding fruit and eating.
Get with the times oldie!
Yeah, microplastic are COOL!
They’ve got what plants crave.
And what my balls and brain craves it seems...
Pretty soon we will all be jizzing out ABS plastic like an out of control 3D printer spool
You mean the popcorn container/puke bowl?
Fucking get out of here with that "puke bowl" nonsense. You are going to make me lose an argument with my wife!
I never heard of them until her and like poop knives I refuse to believe in families have a thing as a "puke bowl". Now I have to do research and reconsider my stance.
Ok so strictly speaking it was a specific mustard colored rectangular Tupperware bowl that often held soup leftovers in the fridge. Occasionally it held popcorn. For a small child who was sick and couldn’t reliably get over a toilet to puke, it was the designated “puke bowl.” For the record, I don’t believe poop knives actually exist, but in this instance, your wife is correct.
Her's was a plastic blue bowl with a handle. I was informed of it's unsavory past after it was given to her from her mom when we moved in together. As she was eating popcorn out of it.
I didn't come from no fancy two large plastic bowl house either. But a small trashcan with about 3 layers of grocery bags was our go to. Never would I look at something I yaked in and consider it to hold food again even if it had bags lining it.
My puke bucket holds wood chips now.
Huh, when I was sick my parents just made me sleep in the bathtub (they’d put towels in and make it special)
My wife and I both got a stomach flu earlier this year and we have a mop bucket I can’t look at the same.
Nah, I've always used metal bowls.
I have a wooden bowl kinda like this, but I also inherited it. It's kinda nice. Has care instructions somewhat similar to cast iron. Get everything off of it and cover it in oil.
The number of these fuckers I saw while working estate sales, fuck these bowls. Could never sell them, not that I really cared they were just annoying to see after awhile.
I have 4, but I don't remember buying them. They just appeared out of nowhere one day. 2 big and 2 small, I remember I broke at least one small accidentally, but somehow it reappeared.
I store my keys, cables and random coins in the big ones, I only use the small ones for food. The big ones are too small for full bag of popcorn, and with this shape popcorn easily overflows. The small ones are good for peanuts and similar smaller stuff.
Sounds like you are being haunted by these wooden bowls but all they want is to be useful. I think you have friends in the spirit world.
in all my half century+ of life i have never used anything looking like that. didnt even see any til the mid 80s
My grandma had these at her house and they were used so often they eventually fell apart. Years later I found a set of 6 at a thrift store and bought them for nostalgia's sake and now I have all my snacks in them.
In my mind, this is the only correct backdrop for that bowl.
I have a set of these. I'm almost 40.
The popcorn bowl!
Primary usage
Chips also
We eat from the bag round here, but it tracks
Do you mean the salad bowl?
With a pair of these bad boys
Heey my mom had one of those, but with pineapple on it.
Oh, and six really small ones like a pack and I'm mid 30.
Yeah, when I was a kid it was weird when a household didn't own a set of these.
I use them, but I live on ranch so everything is "french country". Everything is wood and covered in rugs and doilies.dailies, or how ever the fuck you spell that word that means the lacey things they put everywhere.
Uhh just throw out the doilies. Burn them or whatever. Why have doilies in your house?
My fiancé likes them
I saw this to the market this Sunday. People were buying it, I almost got one. I don't get how this is suppose to make me fill like a pensioner.
What are those used for? I remember I had one in the bronze age when I used to smoke pot all day with my friends. We used it to prepare our "Mische" for the bong.
My grandma used hers as a fruit bowl well into the 2010's.
My mother used her one for salads till it got too gross after that hideous 'season the bowl, not the leaves' trend, that had people only wiping down their salad bowls after use to preserve the 'seasoning'.
Pretty sure the salad trend happened before I was born though, so I'm not actually sure how/why I know that.
I'm pooping just fine right now without one.
I'm a few months from being 40 and I only ever knew 1 person to have one of these wooden bowls, and they are younger than I am!
I have one that's like a four leaf clover. It's sick 👍
I hope it feels better soon.
I am 51 and I had never seen one until I picked one up at a thrift shop right before the pandemic.
oof, this one hits the hardest yet
