    Abstract: A container holding apparatus for holding a container in an inverted orientation such that the contents of the container fall to the top of the container for easy retrieval. The container holding apparatus includes a plurality of tubular members each having a bottom edge, a top edge and a peripheral wall extending between the top and bottom edges. A plurality of supports are coupled to an inner surface of each of the tubular members and spaced from each other. Each of the supports extends from the inner surface toward a longitudinal axis orientated generally perpendicular to a plane of the top edge. A container is inverted and inserted into the tubular member such that the supports support the container in the inverted orientation.
