But what if I want to reheat my leftovers and not have it contaminated with forever chemicals from the plastic inner lining?..
no. eat out of box only.
Is this true or is it just a coincidence? Like are you actually meant to unfold them? Because I’ve truly never seen anyone do it, but I’m also in America, but then again I don’t know if these were made in America originally like a lot of Americanized Chinese food things.
Probably coincidence. Like the whole thing where people claim the hole in a cook pot handle is there to hole the stir spoon, or the little paper condiment cups are also some kind of saucer when pulled apart. No, it’s just the way it’s built, and plenty of pots don’t have the hole, and opening up the condiment cup is just a lucky coincidence. Also, you can bet that if the takeout container had a recommended alternate configuration it would be printed on the container to use it that way and/or you would regularly see it used that way. Any gimmick like that would be advertised to a potential customer. Not just “surprise, here’s this thing that’s been in use for 50 years and everyone’s a moron for not knowing the real use!”
No, it isn’t supposed to fold into a plate, you aphid-faced faucet gnawers. It’s just a simple and good design that doesn’t use a whole lot of waste and manages to take one piece of cardboard and fold it into a receptacle for food. But remember, it is a receptacle for food. A receptacle that can be closed, and also, remind yourself that this is for Chinese food. The food famously that cannot be eaten in one sitting. You start eating it, realize you have gotten full, and have to put it into the fridge for leftovers. So you close it except now you cannot. Why? Because you gnawed on a faucet.
Faucet gnawer is new to me.
Thank you for the gift of educationNew to me too. Try not sleeping for several days while running off of energy drinks that taste like pumpkin spice latte that you found next to a dumpster. It is amazing what the brain can do.

I’m going to eat a quart of egg fried rice tomorrow just to spite you.
no you’re not because your loved ones ate your egg fried rice before you got to it
Keep any organic life upwind from you for the following 24 hours.
chinese food. The food famously that cannot be eaten in one sitting.
I have never heard of that.
Also, I assume you’re not a fat fuck, since you think there’s food that can’t be eaten and a single sitting.
*looks at username*
I mean, yeah. I hope you’re staying well, wish you all the best.
EDIT : and by that stupid shit, I mean to put respect on your name, good Stamets
I guess I should have said stereotypically. Like if you look at TV/movies/video games and someone looks into a fridge there’s usually a container of chinese food. It’s fallen out of favor more recently but you’ll still see 'em kicking about. That and there’s the whole thing about it being really quickly filling but then leaving you wanting more not super long later so it ends up as leftovers for a bit.
As for staying well… not close. But I appreciate it <3 Same back to you my friend
bit rude innit?
Without clarification from the designer it’s impossible to tell what the intention is. If you’re gonna come in and act all high and mighty about it I expect you to actually pull up the patents and prove it. Otherwise you’re doing the same thing as the original poster, only you’re also a hypocrite.
Okie dokie.
Evidently I wasn’t clear enough with my aphid faced faucet gnawing stuff. I was overresponding for the sake of comedic effect.
But considering you asked so nicely?
Here’s the patent for an ‘Oyster Pail’. These things were designed to hold Oysters or other things by using simple blanks that could be double walled for strength and with a closing lid that could prevent containers from sloshing around. There’s actually even more history about it! You can check it out for yourself! How?

Well, you know, there happens to be this magical thing that was created a few years back. I know it hasn’t made the full rounds but you should check it out! It’s called ‘The Internet’ although I’ve heard it referred to a few different things. Turns out it has this huge repository of information that you can find! It’s really cool!
why the fuck are plates even the standard? i’ve been using lunch boxes to eat my food in and it works much better for everything.
A dude I knew used to eat literally everything out of mugs. Claimed that mugs are superior to everything else. Dude had a point
Evolve the standard mug into a Corningware meal mug.
It’s large enough for a full meal-sized serving, the lid is robust as fuck, and they come in multiple fun colors. You can microwave the shit out of it and the handle won’t get hot.
hey, that’s my mug! love that mug. i know i left it at work… did you… did you take my mug???
Bonus points for being able to heat tomato sauce and not get stained
Mug life 🗿
Your access is limited to the upper layer. Depending on the food you might want to reach the bottom too or mix it easier.
no i’m not talking about eating out of a tall glass, i mean why don’t plates have like a 2cm rim on them? i have absolutely no problem reaching things in my lunch boxes.
The forbidden blate
this stumped me for like a minute because in sweden “blatte” is a depressingly common slur for brown people
you mean 🅱️late
hehe lol
How about “forbidden Plowl” instead
i’ve got some. they’re great unless you’re eating cereal and want to drink the milk

That works well. I used to put my salad into these flat bowls with a 5cm rim.
It is MY takeaway and I decide how to eat it
Since I first heard of this 15 years ago, I still haven’t ever done this, because the box when it’s folded up, is just like a box of food in it. You can just eat out of it, as is, similar to a bowl. When you’re done, you don’t have to fold anything back up into a box. You just close it and put it in the fridge.
More importantly, those little ketchup cups can be expanded if you pull out every second or third pleat to make it actually usable as a dipping tray.
