Why The Puke Bucket
Because the alternatives are worse.
Morning sickness doesn't wait for you to find the right container. Here's how the backups usually go.
-
The toilet
Fourth time today, and the bathroom floor isn't getting any softer.
-
Your travel mug
You'll never look at your morning coffee the same way.
-
The mixing bowl
You were going to make pancakes in that.
-
The office trash can
Under your desk, mid-meeting. Everyone will know.
-
A plastic bag
It has a hole. You'll find out at the worst possible moment.
-
The bathroom sink
Someone has to brush their teeth there later.
Why The Puke Bucket
Because the alternatives are much worse.
When nausea hits, people grab whatever's closest. Here's how that usually goes.
-
The toilet
Kneeling on the bathroom floor with your face in the bowl. If you even make it in time.
-
The popcorn bowl
Movie night will never feel the same. Everyone will remember, and it's just not the vibe.
-
The salad bowl
It's coming out again at Thanksgiving. Somebody will know.
-
The trash can
Tippy, no handles, and someone still has to deal with the bag.
-
A plastic bag
It has a hole. You'll find out at the worst possible moment.
-
The hospital basin
About 26 oz. Bless its heart.
