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

641 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?

Sometimes it’s for stacking, too. The grooves make it easier to pull them apart when they’re in a stack.
