why does wet foods usually be package in cylindrical containers?

For many years, this was the cheapest shape to manufacture and consistently affix labels to. Newer technologies are changing that rapidly, mostly because cylinders are the most wasteful volume to ship (except spheres, which are wholey impractical).

I supply employees to a lot of manufacturers in Toronto and I just looked on my directory for Ontario.  Alcan does paper packaging and metal cans. Or Canfab Packaging in Montreal does Fibre cans, tubes and drums.  Or you could go to Bulk Barn and ask who their supplier is.

Drinking lots of water takes up space in your stomach, hence less food can fit..

They help in breaking down the food into small particles so you can get a uniform dispersion of the food throughout whatever recipe you are putting the food product into.

Because when you transport fish in a sealed trailer, the oil from the fish's liver emits a scent that permeates the wood of the trailer floor.  Anything else you transport with that trailer will end up smelling like fish. In order for trucking companies to determine which reefer units were used for seafood, they are marked on the side.  If you have ever cooked anything in oil that was used to fry fish, you will notice it has a fishy flavor, no matter what food it is. Oil from the liver of fish and most other seafood is heavy and permeates it's scent into just about anything it touches.

Depends, what kinds of containers they are, for eg. a cylindrical container will hold more than a rectangular container with the same base Perimeter and height.  This question is very unclear.  The answer would probably be the cylindrical one.

They use that due to its resemblance to popcorn kernels.  The bag is supposed to be reminiscent of a uncooked bag of Jiffy Pop brand popcorn.

Just likel in cooking, oil is heated up and most products are separated by cooling off at different temperatures. Before being separated, molecules are "busted up" by using chemical catalysts that assist in breaking up chemical bonds. Hence "cat cracker".

It is a waste of food... some of the food goes back to the vendors (like bread, potato chips, etc) where they try to resell it in outlet stores, or they donate it to charities.\n\nHigh spoilage foods such as milk, meat and perishables go into the trash ...meats are put down a disposal. Sometimes, tallow (grease) companies and farmers are contracted to pick up the spoiled produce to be recycled into fertilizer or fed as pig slop.\n\nBoxed foods are destroyed in a compactor and the store gets credit for disposing of them.

I am a packaging engineer and I can probably shed some light on why the packaging is the way it is.  In the case of molded plastic shells around products like portable CD players and curling irons, two main factors are usually the reason.  First is cost.  Thermoformed plastic "clamshells" are cheap.  As most people know, companies are always looking for ways to save a buck.  Second is theft prevention.  With those large clamshell packages it is hard to just walk out of a store with a stolen product, and since you can't get into it very easily, you can't take the product out of the package to walk out of the store.  Luckily, there are new features being built into many of those clamshell packages that make them easier to open.

When a substance is in liquid state, the cohesion between its molecules is pretty much different from something in a solid state.  Let's say, there is a larger gap between molecules.  This gives the substance a more "flexible" condition.  This flexibility (if we so call it) give the substance the property to adquire the shape of its container and if this container has two ends and a slanted angle... there you go!  It flows!

It helps decide the optimum size for packages when you have different things that you want to pack. It's part of optimization.

Osmotically speaking, there is a lot more water in the outside surroundings than inside of the vegetables, so the vegetables will want to keep their moisture.  Vegetables tend to wilt when they lose moisture.  Another thing is that the water is cold.  Cold keeps cells intact, which is crisp vegetable.  When you heat a vegetable, it tends to soften.

because the atoms are packed more tightly together

If the inside is pressurized, the shape has to symmetrical in such a way, that will make the internal pressure distribute itself more or less equally. Else the can may burst where the pressure is more.\nAlso the shape has to have a logical design.\nFor the sake of argument, let us consider others shapes.\n\nSpherical:: well that's not possible. Not very easy to hold !!\nBut yeah, from the physics point of view, its the ideal.\n\nCube and Cuboid :: The corners present can cause unequal pressure distribution, also the strain present may give rise to corrosion.\n\nElliptical:: no comments !!

It doesn't make the raspberries juicy or juicier per se. The juice, mostly water, is already there and is just brought to a different place by the laws of kinetic energy and a special type of diffusion of water called OSMOSIS. Water that is inside the raspberry cells moves by osmosis (through the semi-permiable raspberry cell membrane) to an area of relatively higher water (hypotonic) in raspberry cells to an area of relatively lower water concentration (hypertonic) on the outside edges where the sugar is sprinkled.  \n\nIt's the same reason why soaking your feet in epson salts will make them less swollen, why putting salt on beef jerky makes it dehydrated-shriveled and thus it won't rot in your backpack, why salty chips-nachos at happy hour make you thirstier, why snarol kills snails, why salt and sugar are added by the food industry as preservatives to so many of our foods. THUS: Water moves from high water (hypotonic solution) to low water (more hypertonic solution) in an attempt to reach equilibrium and make an isotonic solution (If there's enough ingredients to let it reach full equilibrium).

You store things in it. And sometimes you put a plug in it, so it can't leak out.
