[edit] Name

Is there a more official English name than "Chinese candy box"? Benjwong 05:25, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I have never seen this thing before. Did you try doing a bilingual Google search? Badagnani 06:06, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
It seems to me that it's more of a candy tray than a candy box, but a search pulls up more "candy box" hits. What do you think? Boxes are typically deeper and square or rectangular (though some boxes, such as hat boxes, may also be round). But this seems more like a tray. I assume doesn't mean tray, though.

There is also the more rare square box/tray. Rare enough that is is probably used 5% of the time. So it doesn't have to be a circle. I guess we're sticking to the name then. I was looking for some official name that I've never heard of. Benjwong 13:17, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
