Oh my god’ it was HUGE! And its a lasting meme.
White people have barf bowls we also use for large salads and halloween candy and popcorn. Washed in between but white people washing so…
I feel like such a babe in the woods right now. Do you mean, I would eat at other peoples houses, and there was a nonzero chance someone puked in something I was eating out of...? This whole time??
Disgust triggers are one of the most basic and personal feelings we have.
I've known folks who really care about things like that (a metal mixing bowl being tainted by association with a past use) but who don't do basic sanitation in their kitchen, and there's no arguing them into or out of either.
I've kind of given away where I stand - for me, plates are plates. I can't understand minding that one was used once to feed the cat, as long as it's been washed.
I'm servesafe certified, I just completely lack that trigger. I'm way more concerned with people touching their phones while cooking.
Sometimes when you're really sick you can't make it. I'm college I puked in our sink because I couldn't make it to the toilet (sink was in my room, toilet was not). It was some stomach bug and it was bad enough I was puking bile
Yeah it's people like me, sorry everybody. I'm not actually sure about the barf bowl thing growing up but I wouldn't be surprised or bothered to find out we did that.
That’s smart! I have a separate bin to wash my CPAP supplies in bc … well I honestly don’t think I thought of using a bowl? And a separate one for foot soaks. The CPAP one is labeled.
For sure, cleaning liquids which are highly toxic should not cross with food. But barf... is food
It's organic. It's fine and cleans off of bowls and plates just fine.
Norovirus (a common cause of barfing, found in barf) is incredibly difficult to kill and not something I would ever want to intentionally put in contact with something I eat out of.
Yeah surely the sensible thing is to use a bucket or basin which gets used for actual household cleaning stuff, on the occasions that people cannot manage to run to the bathroom.
No thanks.
The person who threw up may have done it because they were ill. Vomit includes stomach acid.
I wonder if there are national differences about this. In the U.S., stuff that comes out of the body is considered unclean.
I'm with Kendra. There are toothbrushes for cleaning only. Any barfing goes into a bucket which might be used for cleaning. No bowl ever is used for barf. I can't even.
I don't get it...as someone who was once familiar with drinking to excess, I knew the small trash can was mandatory. Bowls would never be used as they were too prone to allow splash damage, and also people cooked with/ate out of them.
