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

[-] katharta@lemmy.sdf.org 31 points 5 months ago

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

Welp, time for a new house I guess.

She's a circle girl living in a square world ๐Ÿ˜ž

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Oh no there's still tons of wasted space on my circular house filled with circle freezers!

What if we made hexagon house and freezers!?

Hexagons are the bestagons!

[-] Teodomo@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

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)

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 29 points 5 months ago

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.

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

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

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.

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

[-] GreatDong3000@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

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

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

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Inb4 Google AI says cats are amorphous

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.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 months ago

Big Container only wants you to buy it triangular for pie

Essentially no glass options

[-] techt@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

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.

But my Buldak ramen brick fits perfectly into my square glass Tupperware.

No. Square container is better because the edges of the container perfectly fit as a lid, letting me easily drop a frozen serving of soup in.

Does this make sense bc my neurodivergent brain, or bc science?

[-] oo1@lemmings.world 9 points 5 months ago

Gravity makes balls. If you had enough soup it'd conform to the shape of earth.

Noah's ark myth actually originated from stories about a giant prehistoric crouton.
