We do have a lot of cubes. Juice boxes. Cereal boxes. Wine boxes. Cylinders are pretty much only used when you need to fake larger capacity for consumer preference (cardboard nut containers in super markets vs. plastic cubes of them at Costco) or you need to use metal for some reason (e.g. tanks of pressurized gas, holding liquids with the top off, etc.). I think he kind of misses the point that cubes are superior in terms of space usage then goes and analyzes how space efficient something we are only forced to use for other reasons is.
