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 32 points 2 years ago

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

Welp, time for a new house I guess.

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!?

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.

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.

[-] jettrscga@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Zink@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago

Wow, that is a very correct and helpful answer!

[-] misterundercoat@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

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?

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

Yes, which is why they used the word in.

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 2 years ago

Big Container only wants you to buy it triangular for pie

Essentially no glass options

[-] techt@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years 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.

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

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.

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.
