Don't carbonated drinks need to be pressurized? wouldn't a square design get bloated? ie, you don't see square pressure vessels very often, I think for good reason.
- jacobolus 17y agoYou’d probably need to use a bit more plastic to make it as structurally strong. The question then is whether the need for less shipping/storage space makes up for that.
- ars 17y agoIt doesn't. You would need a LOT of plastic. There is a reason almost all drink containers are square, except for pressurized ones which are universally round. It's pretty much impossible for it to be actually square. It would need to bulge either in or out. Take a look at the bottom of a pressurized bottle, and notice it's not square either.
- jacobolus 17y agoI don’t understand the downvotes. I wasn’t trying to imply anything in particular about the amount more plastic, or where the trade-off actually sits. Indeed, my naive guess would be that soda vendors aren’t idiots, and probably currently do whatever is most efficient.
