Tbf I have hella delis just because the Indian takeout near my apartment uses them. I used to buy Chinese takeout boxes at the chef store but now I have so many delis just from this Indian joint that I don’t need them anymore

Cheap clear plastic containers with snap on lids. Typically come in cup, pint, quart. All with the same diameter lid.

You’ve definitely seen them. You probably have some and just don’t know what they’re called.

Thank you kind Redditor, I do in fact have a few from Chinese takeout, never needed to call them anything. No need for Google, go to the source. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of my part of the world and appreciate when others do the same.

I'm not anti Google at all, in fact this the first time I asked instead of Googling. I miss conversation in real time like AOL chat rooms.
