re: food prices rant of the day

They call it a bottle but according to the definition, it’s not a bottle. So what would you call it?

bot·tle
/'bäd?l/
noun
noun: bottle; plural noun: bottles
a container, typically made of glass or plastic and with a narrow neck, used for storing drinks or other liquids.
"a bottle of soda pop"



Jar vs Bottle
Obvious as it may seem, jars and bottles can be easily distinguished by their openings. Jars have a wider opening to accommodate solid and liquid items. This means that it can store a wider variety of items without much hassle. They also allow users to either pour or scoop out the items. Having a wider opening means that it also has a wide top cover that is perfect for stacking multiple jars.

Bottles on the other hand, have a narrow opening which is designed for liquids and really small solids. This design is due to the fact that bottles are more of a consumer grade item rather than a storage unit. This means that a major contributing factor of the bottle’s design is being able to be easily used by people.
