  • Publication number: 20220340331
    Abstract: A liquid container for storing liquid and allowing for stacking with another liquid container including a body in a cylindrical or drum-like configuration. The body presents a unique design having a circular ridge extending from one side and an elongated portion on the opposite side. The circular ridge includes a lip. A pair of identical liquid containers stack by mating the elongated portion and the circular ridge of opposite liquid containers. The elongated portion slides through the lip, enters the circular ridge and turns offsetting the lip so that the elongated portion remains in the circular ridge. The body includes a neck that receives a spout screw cap. The spout screw cap includes a lid and a first O-ring to seal the spout screw cap when not in use. The liquid container includes a spout that removably connects to the spout screw cap for dispensing liquid stored in the body.
