You know it in your heart to be true

I think there’s actual logic here. If you’re storing a liquid, you’re probably going to be getting it out with a big spoon, so the round sides make that easier than flat sides and corners. If you’re storing something like lasagna, you’re probably cutting servings into squares/rectangles, so the flat sides make more sense.

As someone who cooks large batches of food to freeze, the problem with round is that it wastes tons of space in the freezer. I just use scores of rectangular cubes and my freezer is completely full.

Why not just fix it with a round freezer

But now my round freezer is wasting space in my square room…

Welp, time for a new house I guess.

Hexagons are the bestagons!

That’s always the trade-off. Square ones fit better. Round ones are easier to wash (the corners non-round ones are slightly annoying to deal with depending on what was on the tupper)

If you’re storing a lot of liquid you’ll probably want to pour it out later. In that case square is better as the corners will provide a bit of spout action.

Just use your soup straw

I suppose it depends on how liquid your soup is. Mine usually has enough matter in it to make pouring difficult.

Use square spoons smh my head

(Spoonposting & I’m on a roll)

This ladle is reinforced silicone in the back half of the scoop, and soft, flexible silicone on the front half, so you can scoop into corners easily. It’s very nice, even for cylindrical containers because there is still a corner where the wall meets the bottom.

As god emperor my first decree would be the elimination of all other sizes and names thereof

Well I certainly will be calling the big ladle “ULTIMATE” from now on, so thank you for that.

I’ll just pour it out

Wouldn’t soup just leak all over the place if you put it on a square? A cube would be better.

As a liquid, soup conforms to any dimensional space it’s put in.

(Suck on this knowledge, Google AI)

Wow, that is a very correct and helpful answer!

I have thus unlocked infinite soup storage by simply storing it in a one-dimensional point. Campbell’s will pay me millions, assuming that we can figure out how to store a point with infinite mass.

What about the black hole you just created out of infinitely dense soup?

The problem is getting it back out

A square is 2d and thus has no sides. The soup will just flow wherever.

So how do we push it through time?

Yes, which is why they used the word in.

How do you put something in a 2 dimensional space? A square has no height.

if(player1.x < player2.x + player2.width &&
    player1.x + player1.width > player2.x &&
    player1.y < player2.y + player2.height &&
    player1.y + player1.height > player2.y)
{
    //collision
}

Only if you pour too much, I had success with a single drop

Square bowl makes it easier to drink straight from the bowl without spilling.

No it doesn’t. Stop spreading misinformation :(

Why is there not more triangular tupperware?

You get the ultimate free spout unlike the abject compromise that is the corner of square tupperware and you get far more options for tessellation when storing items in the fridge or freezer.

Is that actually from The Office?

Big Container only wants you to buy it triangular for pie

Essentially no glass options

Considering freezer storage tessellation as a deciding factor in your storage container shapes feels like putting theory way ahead of practice. But I still want them.

Correct. Soup has a shape. It can’t just morph into the shape whatever container it finds itself in. It’s not a cat.
