You have eight bowls, four red and four blue. Aside from the color, they are identical. How do you stack them?

Asked by Nullo (22009points) October 12th, 2010

Do you alternate them? Do you block them? Do you quite simply not care?

Random, for I am a bowl stacking rebel! ;)

I don’t think I’d care, which sort of surprises me since I’m usually really nit picky about things like that. I guess I’ve just discovered at what degree I stop doing that.

I’d smoke them with my friends.

I would have to stack mine all red and all blue. Alternating would look so kindergarten-ish. IMO:\

I would stack by color. I don’t know whether I would care if they were red first or blue first, but I would definitely stack by color. I like for things to look tidy – even the insides of my cupboards.

@Lucille, Lucille, Lucille, Luuuciiiillle. She will stack them any way she cannn. (Oh man, Kenny Rogers earworm).

1 pile red, 1 pile blue, then after a couple of weeks, they would become random.

In a single stack. Red on bottom, blue on top. I prefer cool colours over warm colours, so I want easier access to them.

Whichever way they come out of the dish washer.

Why in the world do you have bowls of two colors? Argggg like red and blue states, I would stack them by color and FAAAAAAAAR apart from each other. I would never eat out of the red bowls because it might evoke my gag reflex (actually, I would never have purchased the red ones in the first place!)

I almost said something similar to @Kayak8, not for political reasons.. but all of my dishes are blue. I wouldn’t even keep the red ones if this were an actual scenario.

When I was a kid and played games with poker chips from time to time I used to like to stack red-and-blue alternating, hold a stack and shake them. The ‘purple blur’ result used to amuse and interest me.

But in this case, I’d stack the clean dry ones in the cupboard, the dirty ones on the counter waiting for the sink, and the clean wet ones in the dish drainer. That’s just how I operate now.

@Kayak8 They were purchased at a yard sale. The previous owner had apparently bought two sets, one red and one blue. Well, green and purple. An orange one found its way in, somehow.
I usually stack ‘em, bottom to top, orange-purple-green-purple-green-purple-green-purple-green.

I like to stack bowls and plates of the same size, color and style together. It doesn’t make me crazy not to do so, but I prefer doing it.

downtide's avatar

I would keep them sorted into red and blue, with red on the bottom. Everyone else in the houehold would just put them back randomly. Any time I have something in several colours I tend to sort them in spectral order, red first.

xxii's avatar

Blue on bottom, red on top. Unless the blue was light blue – then it would go on top.

Rubrica's avatar

It depends on what I’d been using them for. I’d separate them into types of food, e.g., dry, meat, liquids, then stack them in order of cleanliness, with the least clean at the top. If two bowls were equally clean, if they were different colours, the red one would go above the blue one.

Yeah, I have O.C.D..

I see 8 bowls. Period.
