Ever go to pick up your Chinese takeout only to be greeted with a funny look when you ask for paper plates? Well, there’s a good reason for that, and it’s not because the cashier thinks you could just use your normal plates. Much like the fast-food condiment cups, Chinese takeout containers are folded in such a way that you are able to unfold them and utilize them as dinner plates!

No need to use valuable resources when we all know you’re going to finish that container of chicken lo mein anyway. Take it in stride, people, and use what you are given to its full extent!
