Costco sells the red drink plastic cups, round but squeezed flat on two sides, that is fine.
You just made me think of something.
For some time now I have been thinking about swedging (forming)small vegetable cans to grow tomatoes in.
To do this I would need to have a block of steel with about a 10 degree taper.
Why not make it square with rounded corners.
