    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 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.

    I saw this to the market this Sunday. People were buying it, I almost got one. I don’t get how this is suppose to make me fill like a pensioner.

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

    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.

      Sounds like you are being haunted by these wooden bowls but all they want is to be useful. I think you have friends in the spirit world.

    I use them, but I live on ranch so everything is “french country”. Everything is wood and covered in rugs and dollies.
