Default Re: Some of my least favorite things

The large plastic bottles that Coke/Pepsi etc come in - specifically the 5 round "feet" on the bottom of them.

In the good old days, bottles came with flat bottoms. Then someone came up with the idea that you could save space when transporting them if you changed the flat bottoms for those bumps - it allows you to fit more bottles into the same volume for bulk transportation.

Unfortunately it means the bottles are much easier to knock over. You only have to tip one of these bottles a few degrees and over it goes, fizzing up inside and precluding you from opening it for a few minutes.

Ever had more than one of these bottles in plastic carrier bag with other items? When you put the bag down, one or both of the bottles overbalances, often taking the bag over with it.

Oh, those infernal bumps on the bottom of plastic bottles!
