Yes, but at a certain point in history, they were considered so normal they were everywhere.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

There are YouTube channels devoted to making those. But now with epoxy resin.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 2 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] OCATMBBL@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Grandmoms are special. ❤️

[-] Doll_Tow_Jet-ski@fedia.io 23 points 2 days ago

This is literally what I use daily. Why is everyone talking about this like it's an ancient relic?

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 40 points 1 day ago

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

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

We’ve all moved on to using hard plastic popcorn containers instead of bowls for holding fruit and eating.

Get with the times oldie!

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 day ago

Yeah, microplastic are COOL!

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

They’ve got what plants crave.

[-] naeap@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago

And what my balls and brain craves it seems...

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 day ago

Pretty soon we will all be jizzing out ABS plastic like an out of control 3D printer spool

[-] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You mean the popcorn container/puke bowl?

[-] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[-] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

My puke bucket holds wood chips now.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Nah, I've always used metal bowls.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 9 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] Nyxon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

in all my half century+ of life i have never used anything looking like that. didnt even see any til the mid 80s

[-] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

In my mind, this is the only correct backdrop for that bowl.

[-] ramius345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I have a set of these. I'm almost 40.

[-] degen@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago

We eat from the bag round here, but it tracks

[-] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Do you mean the salad bowl?

[-] degen@midwest.social 3 points 1 day ago

With a pair of these bad boys

[-] DampCanary@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah, when I was a kid it was weird when a household didn't own a set of these.

[-] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Uhh just throw out the doilies. Burn them or whatever. Why have doilies in your house?

[-] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

My fiancé likes them

[-] pseudo@jlai.lu 4 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] gigachad@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] Aksamit@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] Orbituary@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I'm pooping just fine right now without one.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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!

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

I have one that's like a four leaf clover. It's sick 👍

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I hope it feels better soon.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

I am 51 and I had never seen one until I picked one up at a thrift shop right before the pandemic.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

oof, this one hits the hardest yet
