      The food famously that cannot be eaten in one sitting.

      I’m going to eat a quart of egg fried rice tomorrow just to spite you.

      chinese food. The food famously that cannot be eaten in one sitting.

      I have never heard of that.

      Also, I assume you’re not a fat fuck, since you think there’s food that can’t be eaten and a single sitting.

      *looks at username*

      I mean, yeah. I hope you’re staying well, wish you all the best.

      EDIT : and by that stupid shit, I mean to put respect on your name, good Stamets

      Without clarification from the designer it’s impossible to tell what the intention is. If you’re gonna come in and act all high and mighty about it I expect you to actually pull up the patents and prove it. Otherwise you’re doing the same thing as the original poster, only you’re also a hypocrite.

    Since I first heard of this 15 years ago, I still haven’t ever done this, because the box when it’s folded up, is just like a box of food in it. You can just eat out of it, as is, similar to a bowl. When you’re done, you don’t have to fold anything back up into a box. You just close it and put it in the fridge.

    why the fuck are plates even the standard? i’ve been using lunch boxes to eat my food in and it works much better for everything.

      A dude I knew used to eat literally everything out of mugs. Claimed that mugs are superior to everything else. Dude had a point

        Evolve the standard mug into a Corningware meal mug.

        It’s large enough for a full meal-sized serving, the lid is robust as fuck, and they come in multiple fun colors. You can microwave the shit out of it and the handle won’t get hot.

      Your access is limited to the upper layer. Depending on the food you might want to reach the bottom too or mix it easier.

            this stumped me for like a minute because in sweden “blatte” is a depressingly common slur for brown people

          Protip: go find yourself some plates with a more classic design. E.g. I have Wedgwood Windsor plates. See that middle bowl area? it’s about 1.5cm deep. See that rim? It catches anything that manages to escape the bowl area. Good plates are a solved problem, they just don’t look like modern minimalist plates. Ever since I got these I don’t think I’ve ever managed to lose anything over the edge of a plate.

            now that’s what i’m fucking talking about, that’s actually intentionally designed for what it’s used for. Holding the bulk of the food in the middle and then a wide rim to catch spillage and hold e.g. a big schnitzel.

              The bowls from the same line are great too. Modern bowls have sides that aren’t steep enough so they spill too easily.

    But what if I want to reheat my leftovers and not have it contaminated with forever chemicals from the plastic inner lining?..

    Is this true or is it just a coincidence? Like are you actually meant to unfold them? Because I’ve truly never seen anyone do it, but I’m also in America, but then again I don’t know if these were made in America originally like a lot of Americanized Chinese food things.

      Probably coincidence. Like the whole thing where people claim the hole in a cook pot handle is there to hole the stir spoon, or the little paper condiment cups are also some kind of saucer when pulled apart. No, it’s just the way it’s built, and plenty of pots don’t have the hole, and opening up the condiment cup is just a lucky coincidence. Also, you can bet that if the takeout container had a recommended alternate configuration it would be printed on the container to use it that way and/or you would regularly see it used that way. Any gimmick like that would be advertised to a potential customer. Not just “surprise, here’s this thing that’s been in use for 50 years and everyone’s a moron for not knowing the real use!”

    More importantly, those little ketchup cups can be expanded if you pull out every second or third pleat to make it actually usable as a dipping tray.
