Lindfors did not include the round holes in his design for carrying the bottles, but simply do add a piece of recognizable identity on over-crowded gas station shelves. The holes also create a whirl when the thick liquid is in motion, enabling the oil to pour out easily. By 2009 Lindfors' “NESTE" containers had been on the market for 12 years.
