Abstract: A monolithic blow molded container is configured to hold liquids. A majority portion of the container is opaque and the container has an upper opening configured and adapted to allow liquid to be dispensed from the cavity of the container. The container also has a vertically oriented viewing stripe that bulges outward from the majority portion of the container in a manner such that liquid in the container can be observed through the transparent viewing stripe from two opposite viewing angles.

Abstract: A blow molding apparatus comprises a base, a blow molding extruder, a carriage, and first and second molding stations. The carriage is movably mounted to the base in a manner such that the carriage is movable along a non-linear path between first and second positions relative to the extruder and in a manner such that the carriage maintains a constant rotational orientation relative to the base as the carriage moves along the non-linear path. Each of the first and second molding stations is mounted to the carriage in a manner such that the first and second molding stations move with the carriage relative to the base as the carriage moves along the non-linear path.
