Tupperware?!? In this household we wash the plastic takeout containers and reuse them for years until the become brittle and shatter.
A time-honored tradition

If you are still doing that, don’t do it. Those takeout containers leak microplastics like crazy

Don’t tupperware leak as well?
I mean, unless you use some sort of glass container or metallic, you’re eating microplastics.

What do you call Tupperware? I thought any plastic container for food is that. Not necessarily newly bought.
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 9 months ago
Tupperware is a brand. Calling all containers Tupperware is like calling all tissue paper Kleenex or all cotton swabs Q-Tips. Sure, many people do that, but it’s not correct.
Also, Tupperware is expensive.

In the Midwest, the fancy Tupperware is cool whip containers

Plastic food containers that are intended to be reused are tupperware; containers that are intended to be disposable are not

We use butter and cool whip bowls.

So, is this JoMiran or the micropladtics speaking?

I’m too cheap to throw it out. So my role in the house is to eat all the leftovers before they go bad

A few years ago I had a roommate who just did not give a fuck about food never found enjoyment in it. All the leftovers went to him he’d vacuum up anything completely neutrally. I miss him

It’s me, I’m that roommate.
Well to be honest, I do enjoy and appreciate tasty food. But I don’t mind eating plain bland food (as long as it isn’t disgusting). I don’t really have a high bar. If it’s edible, in it goes

Same. My folks never eat leftovers. I patrol the fridge each day and assemble a cast of weird and wonderful characters to have for lunch that day.

Sometimes I have even thrown it out with the tupperware because it’s gotten so bad that opening that container would probably poison everything in a 100m radius.
Norgur@kbin.social 9 months ago
This happens every time because there is something else in the fridge that needs to be cooked so it won't spoil. Then you eat the new dish instead of the old one since you just made it and the old one goes bad....

Yeah, it’s pretty much like that.
Still, most leftovers are eaten… at least in our household.
v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 9 months ago
But then you keep cooking new stuff because you don’t want to touch the x-day-old food that you’re not interested anymore and want something freshly cooked to eat. You’ll get around to it evenshoely, for shooor

And I still eat it - unsweetened cotton candy and all

I call the bottom shelf of my grandmothers fridge the petri dish for this exact reason.
Constantly puts shit in tupperware, puts it down there, and forgets about it until i find it, and by then its become its own microscopic ecosystem.

Am I the only one who thinks leftovers make the best breakfasts?

I feel seen.

If you freeze it and eat it later that’s called meal prep.
