Claim:
A modular container assembly comprising: a first polymeric container including a first continuous body portion and a first rim, the first rim encompassing and projecting laterally outwardly from the first body portion, the first rim having a first feature projecting generally upwardly therefrom and a corresponding second feature being adapted to be releasably engageable with another one of the first feature; a second polymeric container including a second continuous body portion and a second rim, the second rim encompassing and projecting laterally outwardly from the second body portion, the second rim having a third feature projecting generally upwardly therefrom and a corresponding fourth feature being adapted to be releasably engageable with another one of the third feature; and a third polymeric container including a third continuous body portion and a third rim, the third rim encompassing and projecting laterally outwardly from the third body portion, the third rim having a fifth feature projecting generally upwardly therefrom and a corresponding sixth feature being adapted to be releasably engageable with another one of the fifth feature, wherein the first rim, the second rim, and the third rim are substantially identical, wherein the first container, the second container, and the third container are releasably engageable to each other by fitting respective first, third and fifth upwardly-projecting features into the corresponding second, fourth or sixth feature of another container or into the first, third or fifth upwardly-projecting feature of another container, wherein at least one of the first container, second container, and third container is inverted with respect to the remaining containers so as to form a modular container assembly.
