See, here’s the thing, it would never occur to me to do that to someone. Don’t shit where you eat. It’s not just an old saying. Anyone okay with this, keep yer tupperware to yourselves, in your own scat clubs. ---

Why would/could there ever be a need to crap in a bowl? Jeezuz, if you’re in a fix grab a trash bag and go in the garage or a laundry room. Or maybe just the woods. BTW, Don’t use leaves for toilet paper. You could get spider bit on the butt. Try 'splaining that one. ---

I don’t think it takes a whole bunch brain cells to decide eating poop is bad, bad, bad. The dumber humanoids might be higher brained, but it took only one to shit in a Tupperware bowl to make me want to go live with primates. At least they use their poop as a weapon. ---

It’s gross but you realize that if the Tupperware was used to hold something moldy, or chicken salad that went bad, it’s the same relative toxicity. It’s just a psychological thing - if it’s been cleaned and washed well in a hot dishwasher, it’s clean\*. Especially if it’s been double washed. Now, sure, microscopic traces of poo are left…but they are everywhere. Including on your toothbrush. It is what it is, it turns out it takes more than a tiny amount to make us sick. \*for almost the entire population except a tiny subgroup who have severely compromised immune systems, and those people shouldn’t be eating food others provide. ---

I am not positive, but I ain’t sure plastic gets all that clean in a dishwasher. Have you ever stored chili in a Tupperware, emptied it and washed it. The chili never comes out. You have to toss it or only use it for chili. That’s my experience. I am sort of a germaphobe, I assure you there’s no poop on my toothbrush or cell phone. I saw that 20/20 episode where they tested peoples phones and hands, and some poor women’s handbag and found poop on them. Nope, not me. ---

Shit (ackkk), I didn’t need to hear that. Excuse me, I am gonna clean my bathroom. Thoroughly. And then step out for new toothbrushes. Be back soon. Y’all need anything from Walmart? ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > Have you ever stored chili in a Tupperware, emptied it and washed it. The chili never comes out. Do you mean like the meal chili, with minced meat and beans and tomatoes and everything (rather than just the chili plant)? If so, it’s the oil in it that discolours the plastic. If it’s old tupperware and people have used knives and stuff on it, it can get scratches, and those scratches can also retain remnants from things before. I think it also depends on how good your dishwasher is and what detergent you use as to how things come out. As mentioned, there are poo germs including e. coli everywhere, but I draw the line at sharing utensils with actual poo, even if it has been washed afterwards. I agree with SamuelA that it’s psychological, it’s just the idea of it. ewwwwww. ---

Yeah, it’s the scratches that would concern me. Soft plastic gets scratches from ordinary use. I’ll join you in hiding the body.
