Is this shape not rather impractical? It may be more difficult to accidentally knock over, but you would also need to tip it back to a somewhat extreme angle in order to get everything out of it.

I think the design was originally intended for use on boats, and other places where tipping is a likely occurrence.

[–] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 2 points 34 minutes ago

I think it’s for any motor vehicle where tipping is likely. See this page with all sorts of pictures and examples, including old packaging.

Is the wider section actually hollow? I was imagining they might just have a normal round shape inside due to it being more difficult to mold.

It's very practical if you're somewhere without inertial dampeners.
