    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.

      I’m going to eat a quart of egg fried rice tomorrow just to spite you.

      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

      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!
