    I’m calling bullshit. Why would anyone sell that? It’s like selling a piece of your soul

      Right? The world’s first plastic bowl, handed down through the generations, your grandma slept in it when she was a baby, it was there for you through that terrible thing that happened, a million and one uses and it just won’t break. It’s yours now. You can’t just walk away like that.

    Comes with a green lid that’s two sizes too small. In an alternate dimension, there’s a smaller green bowl with an over-sized yellow lid.

    The antiques roadshow will tell you not to clean it before selling it, as the vomity foot colour adds to the mystique of it.

    It’s about the history.

    I cannot comprehend why you would puke in a bowl, especially not a plastic one used for food etc.

    Even if we ignore the gross aspects, a bowl is so impractical and such a high risk of spillage.

    Why not use a bucket, like the mop bucket? I have never heard of this bowl thing outside of online memery.

      We just took the bag of garbage out and used the bathroom trashcan for stomach bugs. It’s small, can be moved right next to the bed, and wont ever hold anything not gross (unless you move – and then it’ll probably hold your sponges, brushes and cleaners). Also, in our house, everybody was expected to try to make it to the toilet, including kids. You start puking, you get ushered to the toilet with the trashcan held below you.

      All of this makes sense because norovirus is super contagious.

      Depends on the height of your bucket. Imagine a little kid sitting in bed. They need something low and lightweight. Our bucket was too high to be practical

        But you can hug a bucket with your knees and use its base rim to press into your stomach as you heave. As a kid, the proportions line up perfectly.

        I’m with bobo on this

      My parents always gave me cooking pots. Small to medium sized ones with two handles are easy to grab and easy to clean. If you need to “use” it repeatedly, you can just put boiling water in it in between uses

      Used metal mixing bowels the few times I threw up as a kid. Wife used metal mixing bowels while we were married, I never threw up as am adult.

      They hold a lot of liquid and can be cleaned with bleach.

        Just FYI - “bowls” are the things you puke into, “bowels” are the things food never reached and therefore became puke.

          I was perfectly happy letting this error continue, it makes for unintentionally funny comments all the time. And you had to go and ruin it

          I had just gotten home from 24 hours of conferences and delayed flights and spellcheck was no help at all.
