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.
Yeah, we don’t have a barf bowl but I honestly struggle to understand how a stainless steel bowl that’s been sanitized afterwards would be gross
Plastic, on the other hand…
Yes, like phone- and tablet-based recipe apps honestly used to freak me out back when I had the energy to cook.
I think I even looked into, like, food-safe covers or something for them for that specific use?
like, even with the level of contamination aversion both servsafe and kashrut inspire, i can’t imagine being grossed out by this. and i wonder how many people hold on to this aversion through their first time parenting a kid with a GI bug.
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
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
I’m happily ignorant of this. It was always hang out by the toilet or hold a waste basket (lined) in my families. I can now trust no one else’s large bowls.
When COVID was starting and we thought all we had to do was wash our hands I witnessed a woman use the restroom, do full makeup and never wash her hands. I knew then that people were broken
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.
