1. A container system comprising:
a container including a plurality of sidewalls and a rim extending from the sidewalls at a top of the container, the rim of the container including a first sealing part and a second sealing part, with the first sealing part and the second sealing part being located on surfaces of the rim that face the inside of the container, and with a plurality of protuberances being formed in the rim, the protuberances being discontinuous with each other such that each protuberance is spaced from two adjacent protuberances and each protuberance is visually distinct from other protuberances, wherein, as viewed from above the container, parts of the rim extend along arcs; and
a lid for closing the top of the container, the lid having a rim that extends along sides of the lid, the rim of the lid including (i) a first sealing part that is configured to contact the first sealing part of the rim of the container to form a first sealing area, and (ii) a second sealing part that is configured to contact the second sealing part of the rim of the container to form a second sealing area, with a plurality of protuberances being formed in the lid, the protuberances being discontinuous with each other such that each protuberance is spaced from two adjacent protuberances and each protuberance is visually distinct from other protuberances, wherein, as viewed from above the lid, parts of the rim of the lid extend along arcs,
wherein the protuberances of the rim of the container are positioned to align with the protuberances of the lid when the lid is sealed to the container, and
wherein, when the lid is sealed to the container, each protuberance of the rim of the container is spaced from the correspondingly aligned protuberance of the lid.
