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…

THE HALLOWEEN CANDY BOWLS WERE BARF BOWLS??

This is the issue Brooke. It's not having a barf bowl it's having a multi purpose barf bowl

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??

Apparently! Not my house though! Food stuff doesn't mix with non food uses. I have measuring spoons just for cleaning supplies!

Same!! I don't think this is unreasonable!

In my house the barf bowl is the toilet bowl. What the fuck.

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

It's even more extreme for kids. The first time I had the flu I was so weak I had to crawl to the bathroom. So yeah you want emergency backup.

But that’s what BUCKETS are for, not bowls!

I've already said I use a trash can. I'm not defending barf bowls, just the use of a barf receptacle

Buckets are the way. I just used a 2L yogurt container (it will just get recycled after, not ever reused for food storage) for my sick toddler, but he’s got a tiny stomach to empty. We’ll move him up to a bucket soon.

That's fair! But if you can't make it you're also not making it to the cabinet to pick out your special bowl to get sick in either.

Apparently the bowl is placed by an adult parent for the sick child or other individual

That's called a trashcan. Do people not have small trashcans in their houses?

The parent who did this sometimes in my house when I was small, in cases where they thought the sick kid wouldn't make it to the toilet, grew up in a level of poverty where they probably wouldn't have had small trash cans around the house, no

And yes, we did have a few small bathroom cans but liners were expensive and not to be used lightly I dunno, I feel like y'all just like to make fun of people

like the kind that's generally *right below the toilet paper holder* for used tp cardboard cylinders?

One time my bestie housed a bag of doritos and some tostitos lava cheese that she washed down with a 5th of vodka The sink became a large tortilla-cheese soup
