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
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 😞
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!?
Well, now you’re a bee.
I’d like to be a trbee.
Hexagons are the bestagons!
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)
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.
As god emperor my first decree would be the elimination of all other sizes and names thereof
Well I certainly will be calling the big ladle “ULTIMATE” from now on, so thank you for that.

How big
My spoon is too big
my anus is bleeding
Yay! Hooray!
I am a banana
Prolapse? Again?
I’ll just pour it out
Wouldn’t soup just leak all over the place if you put it on a square? A cube would be better.
As a liquid, soup conforms to any dimensional space it’s put in.
(Suck on this knowledge, Google AI)
Wow, that is a very correct and helpful answer!
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.
The problem is getting it back out
A square is 2d and thus has no sides. The soup will just flow wherever.
Soup everywhere.
So how do we push it through time?
Only if you pour too much, I had success with a single drop
Yes, which is why they used the word in.
How do you put something in a 2 dimensional space? A square has no height.
if(player1.x < player2.x + player2.width && player1.x + player1.width > player2.x && player1.y < player2.y + player2.height && player1.y + player1.height > player2.y) { //collision }
Correct. Soup has a shape. It can’t just morph into the shape whatever container it finds itself in. It’s not a cat.
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.
Is that actually from The Office?
Big Container only wants you to buy it triangular for pie
Essentially no glass options
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.
Explain that, science.
I’m in love with the shape of soup

Food grade forever chemicals! 😂
Stasher silicone storage bags (which these appear to be, or at least their non-NA counterpart brand) are PFAS and PFC free.
Is that all that is being found in our bloodstreams and balls? Kinda thought it was just all dangerous but haven’t looked into it
I freeze my soup in ice cube trays then pop em out and wrap in Saran wrap
Oh shit, what was casting like for Silence of the Lambs??
Like a liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti

And if you put it in a thermos?
Round ✅
Does this make sense bc my neurodivergent brain, or bc science?
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.
op has never frozen soup in an icecream container. it saves room!!
