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.
Well. I can personally vouch for it being a thing when I was a kid. Beats the hell out of a grocery bag.
I just went to the toilet. A couple of times, it hit me too fast so I used a trash can.
I accept that it happens, but I still think the mop bucket seems like a much better place. Grocery bag I would probably avoid, unless its an emergency and nothing else is on hand.
What part of the world are you from if you don’t mind me asking?
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
Fair point. As a kid, and adult I would just lean over the side of the bed and do it though.
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.
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.
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
Only one thing matters…does it come with the lid?
They never do… The lids went even real. We all just collectively think they had lids. It’s all a lie.
Oh, no. The lids were real, man. The lids were real. They burped and everything.
It’s the Berenstein Bears all over again.
I’m calling bullshit. Why would anyone sell that? It’s like selling a piece of your soul
It can be used as a bullshit container too.
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.
They dont make multifunctional appliances like this anymore 😔
The antiques roadshow will tell you not to clean it before selling it, as the colour add to the vomity mystique of it.
It’s about the history.
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.
They make excellent electronics parts bins, too.
Literally my fucking GOAT

I remember the translucent soft plastic lid that went on this thing

It had to have frills like an Elizabethan collar for some reason.

I remember how the really old ones retain smells.
