ABSTRACT:
A grippable container is provided for foodstuffs and other items, in which the container includes a closed bottom, an open top, and a body extending between the bottom and top, wherein the body includes a plurality of gripping indentations which are circumferentially spaced apart at an obtuse angle from each other. The grippable indentations each comprise a recess on the container body that has a relief pattern of substantially parallel projections, such as ribs. The grippable indentations on the container make it possible for a user to easily grasp and pick up a relatively large container from the side with enhanced control.
