One of the special products that people only buy when they are 50% off, but you always buy it when it’s 50% off.

heck yeah I do

Zero, had to look up what they even are. But I do have about 20 quart-size plastic yogurt tubs - which at least come with lids.

What's a quart-size?

Edit: Just looked it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quart

Sounds actually useful compared to what I have

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

They are super useful! The key is knowing how many are enough, so you recycle them instead of storing them. Despite being made of plastic, manufacturing a yogurt tub has a much smaller carbon footprint than a glass ramekin.

I feel like I've never thrown one away - but also, I've not eaten a lot of them. I know the whereabouts of three or four of them, (which contain either bits or stuff), but I fear there must be another 10 or 20 around somewhere.

The frustrating thing about them is that they're lovely jars which do not stack

I reckon Pringles and Gü are in league with each other

[–] tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

Seriously! Every time I have one I find myself disappointed with how much more useful they'd be if they would stack.

Please gu, sort your little pots out.

[–] MrPoletki@feddit.uk 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They are too Güd at storing little nick nacks.

Well there's a cracking deal on 130 more of them available

I own 16. Bow before my might

So I did a quick google search cause I don't know what this is (sorry), and I have to wonder why people have so much poison in the UK.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 4 points 4 days ago

Miao women were thought of as “barbaric,” with their unbound feet, scanty dress, premarital sexual freedom, and ability to hunt and farm alongside men

Other than the poison/antidote cycle, sign me the hell up!

I hear you can keep a Pizzacake plush in a Gü jar.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 4 days ago

you dont say

[–] possumparty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 4 days ago

you can put your pizza kush in a gü jar too.

Anyone found a use for them?

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

So apparently you can put a pringles lid on them perfectly and then use them for portioning out sliced fruit

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 3 points 5 days ago

That's actually genuinely worth trying :)

[–] Egonallanon@feddit.uk 7 points 5 days ago

I use one as a water pot when painting war hammer.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 4 points 4 days ago

I use them for depositing olive pits or other fruit detritus, or for dipping condiments like balsamic vinegar

[–] determinist@kbin.earth 3 points 5 days ago

selling them on ebay
