      Yes, but at a certain point in history, they were considered so normal they were everywhere.

    I have a wooden bowl kinda like this, but I also inherited it. It’s kinda nice. Has care instructions somewhat similar to cast iron. Get everything off of it and cover it in oil.

    The number of these fuckers I saw while working estate sales, fuck these bowls. Could never sell them, not that I really cared they were just annoying to see after awhile.

    I have 4, but I don’t remember buying them. They just appeared out of nowhere one day. 2 big and 2 small, I remember I broke at least one small accidentally, but somehow it reappeared.

    I store my keys, cables and random coins in the big ones, I only use the small ones for food. The big ones are too small for full bag of popcorn, and with this shape popcorn easily overflows. The small ones are good for peanuts and similar smaller stuff.

      They are like station wagons, or the rings of power. Only about 20 were made and they just change hands because they are indestructible.

      Three wood laminate bowls were given to the elves for they craved salty snacks

      Seven were given to the dwarves, so they could munch deep in their basements

      Nine were given to men, to hold their ramen. They later became edgelords, twisted by the dark lord Joe Rogan

      One was crafted in secret, and holds Cheetos in the white house.

    What are those used for? I remember I had one in the bronze age when I used to smoke pot all day with my friends. We used it to prepare our “Mische” for the bong.

      My grandma used hers as a fruit bowl well into the 2010’s.

      My mother used her one for salads till it got too gross after that hideous ‘season the bowl, not the leaves’ trend, that had people only wiping down their salad bowls after use to preserve the ‘seasoning’.

      Pretty sure the salad trend happened before I was born though, so I’m not actually sure how/why I know that.

    I use them, but I live on ranch so everything is “french country”. Everything is wood and covered in rugs and doilies.dailies, or how ever the fuck you spell that word that means the lacey things they put everywhere.

    I am 51 and I had never seen one until I picked one up at a thrift shop right before the pandemic.
