Squround (original) (raw)

A squround is a container whose shape is between a square and a round tub. It resembles an oval but is sometimes closer to a rectangle with rounded corners. These allow the contents to be easily scooped out of the container. The name is a portmanteau for "square round" (cartons), referring to a compromise between a square and a round carton. It is also sometimes known as the scround. "Squround" can apply to shapes of things other than tubs: Watches, swimming pools, bottles, etc.
