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.
Hexagons are the bestagons!
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.
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.
She’s a circle girl living in a square world 😞
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.
Just use your soup straw
Your…what?
Proboscis!
I’m neither pro or against boscis
How big
My spoon is too big
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
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

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.
Big Container only wants you to buy it triangular for pie
Essentially no glass options
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)
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
What about the black hole you just created out of infinitely dense soup?
Free croutons
Wow, that is a very correct and helpful answer!
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.
Fuck the shapes system! Use zip-locs.

Square bowl makes it easier to drink straight from the bowl without spilling.

I’m in love with the shape of soup
No. Square container is better because the edges of the container perfectly fit as a lid, letting me easily drop a frozen serving of soup in.
I have read this over and over again and I cannot figure out what it means but I really want to know now
