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.
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.
My grandmother used to give me Wheat Thins in these bowls. I miss her. I’m in my early 40s.
Grandmoms are special. ❤️
The popcorn bowl!
Primary usage
Chips also
We eat from the bag round here, but it tracks
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.
in all my half century+ of life i have never used anything looking like that. didnt even see any til the mid 80s
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.
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”.
Uhh just throw out the doilies. Burn them or whatever. Why have doilies in your house?
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 have a set of these. Almost 40.
Heey my mom had one, but with pineapple on it.
Oh, and six really small ones like a pack and I’m mid 30.
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.
I’m pooping just fine right now without one.
I have one that’s like a four leaf clover. It’s sick 👍
I hope it feels better soon.
I’m a few months from being 40 and I only ever knew 1 person to have one of these wooden bowls.
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

They still make these

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.
