The world is a messy place. Earth is a chaotic, teeming, moist stew of life, death, decay, and El Ninos. But we humans love order. We thrive on organization and structure. And we love rectangles. The Great Pyramid of Giza is a shrine to the structural perfection of stackable rectangles. Rectangles are neat and tidy, perfect for organization. Our cities are monuments to the sky-scraping rectangles organized around square blocks of long avenues. We stack rectangles of information in Excel spreadsheets. And we try to cram the nasty chaos of nature into rectangles via fish tanks and dog kennels. The Romans stacked rectangular bricks for hundreds of miles to control the flow of water and today some genius put Oat Milk in a rectangle for efficient stacking in shipping containers. Join Veronique and Mat as we frantically shake the nearly empty rectangle and realize the frustratingly inefficient burden of Box Liquid!
