on Apr 24th, 2008Who would buy this?

This is just as ludicrous as the hotdogs sold already in the buns.

Yes, indeedy, just in case you don’t have any bowls in your kitchen — just in case you don’t know we’re probably in a recession — you can have this 10″ melamine gem by visiting your nearest Linens N Things or going to their website.

Fourteen freakin’ ninety-nine for plastic with a fancy name. And for her name, in our culture of celebrity. 

No wonder she can afford $300 lash extensions. According to the New York Post, that is.

    She’s kidding, right? A GARBAGE bowl? I guess it’s for peelings and things? On the rare occasions I generate peelings, I put them in some dish or bowl that’s already been used for something. The idea that I now have to have a special bowl that I then have to wash is not a-peal-ing. {groans} :)

    chickenbutt - Between the price and the Kitchen Timesaver!, it took a bit to notice the fugly factor. Oy!

    Stay save in those quakes and aftershocks. Good thoughts have gone your way.

    Muse Yeah, the garbage bowl is one of her things, like saying “sammy” for sandwich. Gah.

    I sometimes do as you do, but if I have a plastic supermarket bag (I use mostly canvas) I hook the handles over the corners of my spice drawer. I do most prep work right above the drawer and just push all the garbage into the bag and toss it. (Sometimes I save the trimmings for veggie broth, but not often enough… :( )

    rain - A 10″ bowl won’t even fit her head!

    thebeadden - I’m very glad that whoever came up with the idea to sell these does not live next door to me. :)

    Good to see you!

    ” . . . push all the garbage into the bag and toss it.”

    :O Whaaaa ???? Compost! ;)

    As ususal, good LOL to be had @ ella’s place. :)

    Always glad to oblige, sage! :)

    I thought of having a compost heap but discovered very quickly that many animals, incuding bears, live on my land and aren’t always shy about coming near the house. Like right up to the deck. They don’t need an incentive program!

    Yikes! Toss, toss, toss. Far away. You are doubly excused! :)

    Rachay’s head in that bowl ~ still giggling ~ :)

    Whew! I was afraid I’d have to wear Birkenstocks all summer to prove my environmental friendliness! :D

    I don’t know who Rachel is, or why it’s called garbage, but I quite like the bowl.

    Relish the fact that you’re half a world away from the most over-exposed woman on American TV!

  15. The Worst of Perthon 27 Apr 2008 at 10:17 pm

    Normally that would mean overexposed here too (OZ) but really have never heard of her. Now I’m going to have to look her up.

    You should have no trouble finding stuff, from wiki to television without pity to this very humble little blog.

  17. […] This is just too perfect; she wants you to spend fifteen of your hard-earned dollars to purchase a bowl into which you’ll throw your crap. […]
