Why are so many mugs, glasses, cups and so on narrower at the bottom than the top, making them easier to tip over? I get the bits about stacking and cup holders, but even at that, why not weight the bottoms? And with some, the taper is so extreme they almost fall over on their own even when empty. Are they trying to help the paper towel makers sell more?

I've asked myself the same question. The best I can come up with is, it's easier to hold a narrower glass but, easier to drink from a wider one. Looks probably play a part as well. We all know which sex makes decisions on which glasses to purchase.

Why do we drive on a parkway and park in a driveway?

I have some Superbowl Budweiser glasses that have that shape, but they are pretty thick at the bottom and tipping is not a problem, at least the first four or five times I fill mine. Perhaps the shape, besides being a bit more aesthetically pleasing than an untapered glass, is more amenable to being removed from the mold?
