Riot, your french onion dip containers need to change.

I've been really irritated about this for a long time now but I was afraid I'd be ignored on the board forums just because board posts tend to be ignored by rioters, but this is really frustrating me and I think it's about time to talk about the shape of the french onion dip containers.

Problem: I keep getting dip on my hands Below is a picture of how Riot's current french onion dip containers are shaped. I couldn't find a picture of their brand for some reason but this is similar enough. https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/6f8062e5-fbe2-45f2-a69e-3073af9f8d23_1.151eb94e0bd5bd13831784f315f9a7bf.jpeg

For some reason you guys decided to go with a more jar-shaped container, but there lies a serious problem; If I am dipping chips into the container directly, at some point I need to reach my hand pretty far into the container in order to scoop some of that sweet sweet dip on there. I usually try to be careful, but at some point my hand will make direct contact with the wall of the container, which forces me to clean it off with something. This is just frustrating at times, and usually it's bearable but frankly, I'd rather just not deal with it.

This is where I solve your problem; I have a few propositions for you riot, and they're not too costly either.

Turn it into a square For an odd reason, they're always shaped circular (as seen in the picture, but by making the edges wider and the corners flatter, it would not only make it easier to scoop with chips and spoons, but also make the product easier to store in your fridge, and stock in stores.

Stop making them tall, and instead make them wider. This would actually make it so you can fit more product on shelves accordingly, AND reduce the chances of me bumping my hand on a wall. In fact, there's already something that does this, it's called square tupperware containers, and I've actually found myself scooping many homemade dips that come in the regular circular containers into tupperware. But I feel like I should also be able to eat straight out of the container the product came in just as easily.

In fact, I've even come up with some slides so when you guys have the board meeting, you can show these to really wow the board members.

So in conclusion, your containers need a huge nerf to their height, and a buff to their circumference as well as a QOL change to a more cubic shape.

Chips? Dipped.

Singed? Flipped.

Thresh? Whipped.

Evelynn? U n z i p p e d.

######Being real here, I support this new direction for all dip containers with every ounce of my being.

I feel like it's important to note that if the container is TOO square, the corners will trap some of the dip, making it difficult to extract with traditional, round potato chips. Perhaps a square with rounded corners?

Well generally containers aren't designed with the thought someone is going to ignore the serving suggestion entirely and instead stuff their face with the entire thing in one sitting on their own. There's even a picture on the container showing you that you're supposed to put it in something smaller to eat a single serving.

Nothing should be designed to accommodate unhealthy habits.
