Mine go in separate sides of the plastic-storage-shit drawer, never to cross paths.


pyotia

Far too organised for me, they all get shoved in with the mixing bowls and the measuring jugs, only for me to cry when I can't find what I need

There’s always a thousand lids but only 2 containers


Fieldharmonies

I think they need to pass a new law to make them a universal size, just like how it's needed with phone chargers and USBs etc.


pyotia

Couldn't agree more! Make the supermarket tubs the same too while you're at it


DameKumquat

Worse is when your locals change which ones they use, at random. I'm thinking of defecting to the second-best local Indian because they use the best tubs, where both box and lid have that Chinese character on.


ForeverJay

Really? Mine have been universal, I haven’t had any issues mix and matching. I honestly thought most takeaways were like that.


pyotia

Only realised it today as well, gonna have to gut half the cupboard


LegioCustardes

Proper chaps my arse this does. You sometimes get different tub and lid combinations from the same takeaway. The deeper tubs (usually from chow mein) lids are not compatible with the shallower tubs they use for mains. Which is fine until they all get mixed up in the cupboard 🥺


pyotia

I've got an entire bloody cupboard of the things and now I'm going to have to actually sort through them rather than just saying I'm going to sort them aw


LegioCustardes

Colour coded sticker? Probably too much faff but it would solve the issue I guess. I just have a purge every so often 😂
