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…
But what could possibly get used in a bathroom and also a kitchen?
And it’s totally gross when there’s puke in it. But then you wash it…and then it’s clean, cause that’s how soap works
This was one of the first things I diverged from when I moved out of my parent’s home. A plastic trash can instead of a bowl. You immediately rinse it and then scrub with soap. And no one EVER puts popcorn or halloween candy in the bathroom trash can.
On a related topic, I have long argued that if a dog can turn a human dish into a "dog dish" by licking it, I should be able to revert a dog dish to human-worthy status by licking it. My mother never agreed.
The stain of barf lives not in the receptacle, but in the *mind*. Most will always remember the time they horked in a bowl when they pick up the bowl in question, but a trash can is *for* holding waste, so they don't think twice about it.
We used a washbasin, or ran for the toilet.
When we were barfy at night, we used the big metal bucket next to the bed, plus a bath towel draped over the edge of the mattress to catch drips or spatter.
