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

    Get with the times oldie!

        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.

            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.
