Do People Actually Have Family Sick Bowls?

This British woman went viral because she uses the same bowl her children throw up in to bake cakes. This is why England has never beaten us in the World Cup:

My kids have just discovered that the family sick bowl and the cake mix bowl are one and the same. In my defence, this was also the case when I was growing up … but now I’ve said it out loud, I realise I need to break the cycle. I won’t be taking any further questions.

Are sick bowls a thing? Whatever happened to puking in a toilet or trash can like us normies? You can’t convince me throwing up in a bowl and then later eating out of it is sanitary:

Don’t see a problem with that. I use the same bowl for some cleaning when I don’t want to take a bucket, for sick days or for storing a big batch of cooked macaroni. We wash it each time in the dishwasher. Ready for its next mission 😉

The three main food groups: Puke, bleach, and macaroni.

If you want to harm yourself that’s one thing, but subjecting co-workers to your madness is another:

Lol ! I remember having work friends over to my house . Buffet dinner . One of my daughters ( about 6yrs at the time) loudly announced … ‘why is the salad in the vomit bowl ?’ 🤣

I’m gonna puke:

Same here. To compound the disgust, it was also the placenta bowl for each of my births.

How did sick bowls ever become a thing? Who was the first person to see their child getting sick and immediately go into the kitchen and get a bowl? Then put that bowl back in with the other bowls. Wouldn’t you keep a bucket or something in the bathroom? Things in a house are supposed to be grouped where they make sense. The snacks belong together in the pantry. The cleaning supplies belong together under the sink. Your wife belongs together in the kitchen with the oven and microwave. This is how it’s been for centuries.

Then there are people trying to compare it to mixing raw foods in a bowl:

How is it different than using the same bowl to mix raw chicken or make meatloaf. You wash it and use it again. If it’s clean it’s clean.

I’ll tell you how Kristina, you dirtball. Because people have processes in place for the last 60 years about how to clean chicken to avoid salmonella. Puking in a bowl is like putting spaghetti in Tupperware. It doesn’t matter how many times it goes through the dishwasher, it will always have that weird red film until you chuck it. There’s no shot the acid from puke isn’t seeping into a bowl. I don’t care if that isn’t science. That’s 1000% fact. If you eat out of your sick bowl you belong on a list.

Wait. A wee-wee glass? These people decide elections!

My mum had ‘the wee-wee glass’, used for whenever anyone had to take a urine sample to the doctor. But for the rest of the time it was a regular glass she’d give to visitors with squash in. She couldn’t understand why my sister and I would descend into hysterics whenever she did! pic.twitter.com/jG7ekU2Fxn
