Maybe because food and drink gets stuck in the corners. Easier to eat and wash round dishes.

A circle has one edge. You can approach it from any direction and always see the same edge.

If a cup was a square you would presumably need to drink from one of 4 corners in order to not spill it. 4 defined points compared to wherever you fancy with a circle.

Pretty sure if you’re molding by hand out of clay then a circle is also significantly easier to make too.

They are more efficient material-wise. More capacity with less surface area. Round bottles or glasses are also easier to hold.

What everyone else said. Also, square plates don’t rotate aswell in the micro, causing uneven heating
