I always thought it was because you could eat the soup from the container, and so you plan to have it in a container that fits a spoon. Tight corners means that soup may get stuck in the corner, unreachable by the spoon.

Soup is round, because spoons are round.

That’s probably it, but that’s less fun

u/Captain_Gordito 11h ago

We must be careful not to push this logic. Are salads are pointy because forks are pointy?

Thats true. Same for pasta. Same for broccoli

u/DraconianFlame 11h ago

Pretty sure soup is round to accommodate the round spoons. If soup was square we would be using square spoons

u/beatles910 10h ago

But mouths are round, so even if you had a square spoon, round is soup's final form.

u/Meowscles_dad 10h ago

Even in a square spoon, soup is round.

Might get that as a chest tatoo.

u/Meowscles_dad 10h ago

Or soup tongs.

u/BoofTheMighty 9h ago

Rebuttal, it's a lot easier to drink the leftover soup from a corner than it is from the lip of a round container.

u/Threegratitudes 8h ago

I was told there wouldn't be explaining.

u/D_Simmons 10h ago

They are talking about tupperware. You're not going to heat up soup in tupperware because that's insane. But no one is putting leftover soup in a square tupperware because that's asinine.

7

u/FineMind755 10h ago

I mean a lot people use glass tupperware that's okay to microwave nowadays. Still my soup goes in the round ones. Not the rectangular ones.

1

u/D_Simmons 10h ago

Fair point about glass. I forgot about the glass.

The corner of my square to go box makes it easy to just pour in my mouth and skip the spoon altogether.

8

u/Captain_Gordito 11h ago

There is that. Might depend on the kind of soup.

u/f_ranz1224 21m ago

i mean a bowl type container pours just as easily into my gullet just like a large cup

15

u/Restingfoolishness 11h ago

It’s ok to just google why bowls are round or even just think about it for a second 

25

u/Classic-Jello-1234 11h ago

Because soup is round and soup goes into bowls

3

u/ghidfg 10h ago

It's okay to share your findings

8

u/TheTrashTier 11h ago

Oh this is why it felt wrong to put soup in my Tupperware. That makes sense

6

u/Hydlide 11h ago

I don't disagree that when I only have a rectangular Tupperware to put leftover soup in it feels very, very wrong. 

22

u/Mental_Rutabaga_8939 11h ago

But she did explain…

12

u/BilverBurfer 11h ago

She didn't explain why soup is round. That's the point.

5

u/thomsenite256 10h ago

I mean no but I agree with her. Soup doesnt have edges.

8

u/bb6160 11h ago

Right, soup is round

good dog

u/BugleNoise 11h ago

"I won't be explaining" as if it's a mystery and not just the association of almost exclusively seeing soup in either a pot or a bowl.... Both round vessels. 

3

u/RepresentativeOk2433 11h ago

Because spoons are round.

u/TriceratopsHunter 11h ago

Deli rounds or bust

u/Specialist-Garbage94 11h ago

No one show her the Souper cuber.

u/thomsenite256 10h ago

Wait, she has a point

God i love this.

Live by the cylinder, die by the cylinder.

u/bb6160 3h ago

As long as it remains unharmed

u/Ambitious_Jello 11h ago

round containers have many advantages over other shapes.

3

u/Prawn1908 10h ago

Except that refrigerator space is not round.

2

u/InventorOfCorn 10h ago

i'm sure you could design and market a round refrigerator

2

u/Prawn1908 10h ago

Then the problem is kitchen space is not round. And going up from there you have building materials are not round (and circles aren't as efficient for packing space in a floorplan as rectangles).

1

u/InventorOfCorn 9h ago

so build a round kitchen and a round house

2

u/CosechaCrecido 9h ago

I started having soup in square bowls at home. Ramen are square and don't fit in round bowls. Enjoyed myself.

1

u/Trapmaster98 9h ago

No it is cylindrical, but that’s an easy mistake to make.

u/Saikousoku2 6h ago

...leftover soup?

u/https_rahul 2h ago

u/SamboTheGr8 11h ago

Stop acting like shit like this is relatable

6

u/bb6160 11h ago

No

2

u/SamboTheGr8 11h ago

Leftover broccoli goes in a square tupperware. Broccoli is square. I won't be explaining

2

u/TheVoiceInZanesHead 11h ago

I wont be explaining

u/agreenfox 10h ago

I dont want to be mean but this is also one of the dumbest things i've read today. This just in bowls are round
