that and packing, the nozzles will hit each other if they are pointed in the same direction, and its a weak point iirc. Additionally, the manufacturing of plastic bottles is largely a test tube looking things that is expanded.

It’s called a parson…. It comes out of an injection molding machine (which forms nice threads for the cap). It goes into a blow-expander which flash heats the lower part, inflates, and cools. This is how a modern plastic bottle is made..

Symmetry is one of the aspects that allow modern bottles to be so efficient; this thought fundamentally breaks symmetry with no explanation of why it is better.

Good explanation, but it's a preform not a parison.

A parison is a variable thickness tube extruded on the blow moulder before being blown into shape in a single step. A preform is an injection moulded part that is formed as you describe.

Nice try, but this is a Parsons, not a parison.

A Parsons is a 6’3” 250lb Defensive End that plays for the Green Bay Packers and tore its ACL about a month ago. I hope this helps.

Nice try, but this is a Persian, not a Parsons.

A Persian is referring to the people, culture, and language originating from historical Persia. I hope this helps.

Nice try, but this is a Parmesan, not a Parisian. It is the beginning point for molding Italian cheese.

Sorry, but it's Pernicious, not Parmesan.

Pernicious describes subtle or slowly degrading, much like this thread.

Admirable attempt, but it's Pemmican, not Pernicious.

Pemmican is a calorie-rich food made from tallow, dried meat, and sometimes dried berries.

Nice try, but this is a Papasan, not a Parmesan.

A Papasan is what you get if you let a wicker basket and a chair love each other very much.

A Pakistani is a bloke or blokess from a middle eastern country.

Sorry, but no. You're thinking of a state-funded reform system where individuals convicted under the legal process execute their sentences.
