The inner edge/brink of the plate swirls slightly inwards, starting at the plate's outer edge and terminating at the inner bottom.

You ever see those coin tornado things?

This is like that but for grapes on a small scale ;)

gross.

so i guess cleaning the bowl before posting it was just a step too far for you

I say it is for anaesthetics, that means, the spiral is hypnotising you to fall asleep, and then somebody else gets all your food.

So that's where it all went. And that's why I'm still hungry...

Thanks for including the red line - I originally saw a regular bowl and was thinking that's just how bowls work so they don't spill out all the time

Spiral is kind of weird though. Maybe if you're mixing something by swirling the bowl it might help keep liquid in. But I'm leaning towards it just being a kooky design

Thank you for teaching me at least three things:

  1. Your reply on the actual matter at hand
  2. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/kooky
  3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kooky

That implies you also don't know about The Addams Family? https://youtu.be/cfawtDT945o?is=G4CdAVE4ASn4hf3_

All of the world's eggs are on my face right now. HOW have I not seen this. I thank you for the lecture!

[-] SparkyBauer44@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Well stop! The eggs just returned to a reasonable price!

[-] akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 hours ago

Who would've thought that little insignificant me watching The Adams Family would keep egg prices in check. ๐Ÿ™‚โ€โ†•๏ธ

Spiral King approves.

Never seen that. I vote for a e s t h e t i c s.

Never mind! It's obviously an homage to the Umuzaki Clan.

I bet it is purely aesthetic, I've seen all kinds of designs on this kind of plates.

[-] fizzle@quokk.au 2 points 6 hours ago

Aren't there pans with this design that let you tip out excess oil or whatever using the swirl?

I doubt that's what's going on here though. Just aesthetic IMO.

I'd put my money on easthetics
