>>Why don't newspapers come rolled up in a can and why don't soft drinks sit in an open rectangular tray in a refrigerated box?<< There have been open refrigerated box dispensers for soft drinks - you held the top of the bottle and slid it to a sort of gate that would unlock when you put the money in. Very simple, probably much cheaper than what they have now. But I guess it was hard to keep dirt out, and the vertical dispensers can hold more. My own newspapers come rolled up in a plastic bag, dispensed from a van being driven slowly through the neighborhood by a couple of men, just before dawn. Splat! If it was in a can, it would bounce. As someone once said, form follows function. Ok, now I've answered your question, so will you answer mine?
