Composite Solid

      This is a goldfish box that I saw while shopping at the grocery store. Instead of being the pre-packaged goldfish, it is goldfish in a small milk cartoon like contanier. This is a composite solid because the base of the box is a rectangular prism and top where you open the box is a triangular prism. The shape of this box is certainly not a coincidence. The goldfish company must have been looking for a new way to present their food other than in baggies. The rectangular prism is the crucial part of the structure that holds the goldfish. The triangular prism is there as a way of opening the box. This opening style is similar to a milk cartoon. One has to peel two of the faces back to get it open. Since this item was near the checkout at the grocery store, they acted as a nice "to-go"snack because they are easy to grab and go. The prepackaged bags, on the other hand, are not a composite solid so they are not easy to hold and all of the goldfish are less likely to stay in the bag.
