You Probably See These Things Every Day But Have No Idea Of Their Purpose
Classic Chinese Food Box Has Deeper Meaning
Chinese food takeout is very distinct because of the bucket-like packaging that the meals come in. According to Hello Giggles, they were shaped after the wooden pails that were used to transport oysters in the 19th century, but it was first patented as a paper pail in 1894.
These days, restaurateurs have found another purpose for this container. Instead of grabbing a plate or eating the meal straight from the box, unfold the box, and you would be surprised to see that they transform into plates.
