Is your throw up bowl also the popcorn bowl?

emesis bags on hand, like a civilized person

Wow, I made it to 50 years old without knowing this was a thing. No, we do not use a "throw up" bowl. Toilet, trash can (with plastic liner), or trash bag.

Yes

Same. Why people are puking in their popcorn bowl (the thought of a designated popcorn bowl is weird to me as well, but whatever) instead of the bathroom trash can is a mystery to me as well.

The popcorn bowl is the big family bowl one fills with popcorn for movie night.

No. I think it's so weird when people say this. And gross. Like, don't invite me over for dinner if you say shit like this.

Just move a trash can next to the sick person's bed. How effing hard is it.

I always hand my kids a bowl just in case but it’s never been used. I wouldn’t care if it was used. That’s what a dishwasher for.

No, we use the small bathroom trash bins

+1. Goes right in the dishwasher after rinsing well. Disinfects everything.

I have no problem with puking in a popcorn bowl but emesis bags really are an upgrade, and imo they’re still easier for kids than a bowl. Although when we have a sick kid I do both.

That seems so, so much harder to clean?

Best believe that they have a pot of some kind beside them for an emergency. I use the pasta pot because that’s what my mom used. I think the handles make it easier for them to grab and for me to empty. Of course, I still do remember the time my little sister puked pasta into the pasta pot. A dark day!

Medium and large stainless mixing bowls are great for this.

Put a bag in it! Small trash bag, recycled grocery bag.

I get little kids can't make it to the toilet (and hell, when I had the flu I could barely make it to the toilet) but throwing up a bowl you are going to wash to eat out of is gross.

Yes! Just sent this thread to my siblings and we all had a good laugh.

How much puking are you people doing?? Is this like eating disorder stuff?

Do you… have children?
