Why do plastic disposable containers have grooves and/or ridges in them?

657 viewsOther

Whole eating from a plastic container that had 4 different pockets in it, I noticed that the liquid food tends to enter the grooves in the container. It got me thinking what is the purpose of these and why can’t there be containers that have a smooth interior?

they strengthen the container so that less plastic can be used. Without them, the container would need to be thicker.
