Maybe a cookbook, although Q14 may rule that out? Not official question.

62

What about asking if it’s a vessel? That would allow vase/pitcher/flower pot and rule out some other possibilities if yes / vice versa if no.

If anyone thinks that’s a good idea, go ahead & ask.

63

I feel like cookbooks would virtually always be in the kitchen… there wouldn’t be angst over the kitchen question if it was a cookbook, IMO.

64

Mine don’t live in the kitchen, they live on a bookshelf in a nearby room. They only visit the kitchen when I’m using them.

65

Depending on how you count, i have maybe 40 cookbooks, and I’ve never had more than 2 in the kitchen at once.

66

I want to ask about lighting it on fire. Anyone second that idea?

67

I’d rather ask if it’s consumable first.

I guess most kitchen consumables would either be edible or combustible or flammable, but something like Saran Wrap or trash bags wouldn’t be.

68

Hmm, when you said “consumable” I assumed you meant things consumed by people, like food and drink, and cigarettes and weed and candles and chapstick. I would not have imagined you were including saran wrap or candles or trash bags or paper towels – which I guess you are?

How do you want to word that question? I think you need to be really explicit, since I certainly would have misunderstood you. I don’t think I’ve ever thought of a candle as “consumable”, fwiw. Like “popular”, it’s a word that can be interpreted in more than one way.

69

o.O I’m confused by consumable as well

70

Maybe define it by its useful lifespan? I use up (consume) my car, but slowly. Every time i access my SSD drive it has that much less life in it, but I’ll probably want a larger one before it stops working due to being used up.

I keep candles around for power outages. They are big candles designed to burn for 24 hours, and in practice, their lifespan is longer than that of old incandescent bulbs. But i don’t think of lightbulbs as “consumable”. But maybe the federal agencies that track the economy do? They distinguish between durable goods and other stuff, i think…

71

what about a plastic bag

72

Twig mentioned “trash bags” as an example of a consumable that isn’t something you burn.

73

ya’ll gave up!

74

Is it made of plastic?

I wonder if it’s something like a plate or glass.
