Well, Tetra Pak's Tetra Brik is used A LOT, and it's definitely a cuboid.
I'm not sure if it's used more or less than cylinders, but I see more cuboids than cylinders on my local shelves.

Edit: an interesting link to irregular can sizes (also plenty of cuboids)

- dekhn 12y agoBTW, tetra paks are non-recyclable.
- daxelrod 12y agoDoes this depend upon location? I've been putting tetra paks into my recycling and they seem to be taking them...

- jontro 12y ago"Or as we say, Recycling is Bullshit." This article is poorly written and filled with a lot of half truths. One argument against glass bottles is that it takes a lot more energy to create them than for instance creating a container like tetra pak. I'm not sure what their motives are, but articles like that scares me.
- dekhn 12y agoYou can put stuff in recycling and they will take it (where I live in Northern California) and then sort it out to landfill at the processing facility. See for example the comments from the Recology Recycling Program Manager on this page: http://vault.sierraclub.org/sierra/201209/letters-255.aspx http://vault.sierraclub.org/sierra/201209/letters-255.aspx
