cylindrical cans on conveyors do the exact same thing. we usually call it “nesting”, but I always explain the phenomenon with the honeycomb analogy.
a good amount of time and energy gets spent on figuring out how to prevent it, since the formation is incredibly stable, and difficult to move once it’s settled.
They are vacuum packed very closely and in large numbers so they get that shape by reducing the empty space between them. Kinda like honeycombs.
I see, octagonal dogs would only be possible with one thick dog surrounded by slimmer dogs with this process.
