Of course not - no explanation is necessary!!

well rounded logic

The better version of this joke

This year’s award winning film: The Shape of Soup.

Bouba shaped soup

Campbell's BuzzBallz

Or perhaps because it's easier to scrape down the sides of a rounded container with a spoon?...

Spoiler: it's fish soup

Get out of here with your logic; this is a shitpost

I would absolutely watch this.

Here some soups are sold in Tertrapak cartons which I suspect would break the average American.

Ha ha ha. It's true, soup is round, was there ever any doubt?

But it's soup, you can pour instead of scraping. In fact a corner is a better spout for pouring, if we're being purely practical.

But can you imagine if some fancy-shmancy restaurant served their extremely delicious soup in a square bowl? Teasing you with the impossibility of getting the last drop? I'd tip it out the corner but I'm crass.

If they did so, it would be to mess with your mind and subvert your expectations.

Because soup is round.

Soup cans > soup cubes

I was wondering why they make them in cans rather than cubes since it’s space lost and found this:

The cylindrical shapes of cans are a major benefit when manufacturing products. The cylindrical shape is the perfect cross-section of using the least amount of material but being able to fit the most product into shipment boxes and on store shelves. A spherical shape is inefficient for packaging, and a cubical shape is inefficient in terms of material use. The cylindrical shape is just right by using a rounded top (like a sphere) and elongated sides (like a cube). This cylindrical shape is also critical for withstanding pressure. This shape can withstand up to 90 lbs of pressure, making them a durable product for day-to-day life.

I agree. A liquid should have the freedom to expand in all directions equally.

Everything else is just needless abusive or cruel behavior towards soup.

I disagree hard. The shape of soup is temperature based.

If you don't need to scrape anything out of the bowl on your last couple bites then you're eating broth, not soup (consommé is a broth, fight me)

I feel like the post is better, seems like a matter of opinion

I prefer square because it's easier to fold the soup.

"How to fold soup" Steve Martin, Cruel Shoes.

But a liquid should also have the challenging experience of filling even the smallest nooks and crannies.

You should always ask your soup if it currently wants comfort (round container) or adventure (square container).

No, we definitely have soup in Tetra Brik-style cartons. It's quite common.

I completely understand, I see nothing wrong with this statement.

Soup is round
Soup cans are Soup cubes
We must resolve this tension
Soup cobes

Anyone that thinks that a soup is something you can eat in "bites" is either a lard abuser or lives in some -40°C frozen wasteland

Fight on.

Hey. We have a real word for soup cubes. It's cylinder.

I wish bouillon cubes were spheres

Bouillon balls

I currently have a square glass container with chowder in it on the top shelf of my fridge. Does that count as soup, stew, or is chowder its own category?

consommé is a broth

Fun fact: in Italian it's called "brodo chiarificato" which can be roughly translated to "diluted broth"

I am upset by how entirely correct you are about this.

It's very hard to get all of the soup out of a square container, because a spoon won't reach into the edges properly

That only applies if you're transfering the soup out of the container to eat. If you plan on eating straight from the tupperware, round is better for soup

Never trust soup from a tetrapack

Assuming no gravity, soup is a sphere.

Because you can't explain. Because your brain is in a round container and it has personal biases in shape preferences.

I don't even possess a round container. They're strictly less practical than rectangular ones

yeah, ok. tend to agree. although i will allow a Squircle

Unless you pour it in your mouth...

I call them SoopCube.
Tho right now I am storing fruits for smoothies in it... Still, SoopCube.

At this point I'm surprised they haven't switched to square cans so you pay more but get less soup

This is that one trick you don't want people to know.

Too dumb to meme

Because of bowls, I get it

And to use a ladle

In zero G it is indeed a sphere

For those that need an explanation: round containers don't have corners, but square ones do. Soup is a liquid, which means it will occupy the corner. The corners are very difficult to get liquid out of; be it with a spoon or otherwise for eating, cleaning, serving, etc.. Putting soup in round containers keeps that problem from occurring.

Nah, its because you need to scrape down the sides to get all the soup at the end and if its a square container you can't do that in the corners. Round containers are just easier to scrape down.

A swirly circle shitpost or a straight log shitpost?
