ABSTRACT:
A plastic container that has more than one chamber and that is constructed so as to be stiffer than conventional molded multi-chambered containers includes a bottom wall, a neck, and a main body that has defined therein a first pinched-in area and a second pinched-in area that extends inwardly toward and is joined to the first pinched-in area so as to define separate compartments. The first end wall portion is laterally offset from the second end wall portion, so that the flexibility of the main body about the joint of the first and second wall portions is minimized. As a result, the container is less likely to need supplemental reinforcement against flexure.
