Food enthusiasts have taken to social media to mock a specific takeaway container they have branded a ‘curse to society.’ A user on social media shared an image of the controversial cardboard takeaway bowl, with some claiming establishments serving their food in the receptacle are more likely to charge lofty prices.
The sentiment was echoed by many in the comments, with several users simply commenting: “Facts.” One queried: “So I should avoid this now?”, while another vented: “£15 for some ‘dirty fries’ made by a chubby man with an arm sleeve (you also have to eat them outside in the cold on a rickety wooden bench).”
Meanwhile, others questioned why the food served in these containers is “that expensive.” Despite the criticism, it’s worth noting these containers are offered as a more eco-friendly alternative to plastic bozes, and they spare restaurant staff the task of washing up – allowing them to concentrate on preparing more food and serving customers.
Opinions were divided among the crowd, with one individual summing up the sentiment: “It’ll either be the best meal you’ve ever had or the worst, no in between.”
