The bowl for breakfast to dip the stale bread in or whatever, is French in origin, as for putting milk in (carton milk), usually to the black left-over from whenever before for breakfast to settle the stomach (heh like milk in whiskey).

One of the reasons we build boats here for the rest of the world is because you're not allowed to build them at home, California being one place. The surfing industry has the same problem, hence, surfboard manufacturing plants in China.
On the environmental destruction through dirty industry front, we suck. -
Then flush all those nasties back into the sea again...
