For deli cups/box, which would you rather to use a rounded or cornered (squared/rectangle)? Mainly for 8 oz. to 32 oz. since obvious the bigger (2.5 gallon and +) ones come commonly come in square/rectangle shaped enclosure and 2.5 and 5.5 oz. come in rounded cups/vials.

if i can find them I use the squared ones ONLY because I can fit them more easily on the shelf, currently my baby avic is in a round 32oz one.

indeed. agreed with you.

only thing i like rounded one is because they have "twisted" lid which i like it better to have access with lid instead of snap-ons. but i like squared one for overall usage (organizer, appearance, etc.).

Totally agree with that part, I like those lids better.
they sell wild rice here in a container that's square with the screw on lids, going to start saving them ^^

Two of the reasons that I prefer square is that they're stackable and it's so much easier to take photos, round ones I find reflect the flash too much.

what kind of brand the wild rice? i'd mind to check them out since i eat the rice on daily basis.

BINGO! i never realized the rounded one is hard to take good pictures! i didn't realized that until you mentioned! true, too much reflection going on that light spot take over.
