Don't Want a Whole Bottle of Wine? Try a Can
Fairly nice looking design, but it would be a nightmare to manufacture, fill, and package. It looks like it's designed to be filled and lidded from the bottom of the can, but the "necked" top would make pressing the easy-open mouth and attaching the staytab a difficult proposition. The absence of a top lip would mean the cans would either be ringed and packed upside down, which consumers don't like, or packed in boxes, which no-one involved likes. I have to admit I'm surprised that this won a packaging award.

Corn on the cob is best with steamers!(Or should I say Steamahs). Something about the clams brings out even more sweatness in the corn. I serve them with melted butter, a bowl of the pot liquer, and some apple cider vinegar. I think i'll do that this weekend , thanks for the idea.
