So. When I was in my junior year of college, the dorm I lived in was built more like a high occupancy apartment rather than a college dorm room, it had a living room and a kitchenette. No built-in stove but we were allowed to have a hot plate, so I went to K-Mart and bought a double burner one.
For some reason, one of my roommates had a cereal bowl that was in the shape of a saucepan. It was made of plastic, but it was black and had a handle. One day I walk into the apartment to an ungodly chemical smell and exactly the image above.
Probably the plastic "pan" was a children's toy that made its way into an alternate use. I probably still have a few lying around from the toddler days.
This was bigger than most children's toy pans I've seen; it could probably have held a quart of water. It was used as a cereal bowl at least once.
