It’s very practical if you’re somewhere without inertial dampeners.

Is this shape not rather impractical? It may be more difficult to accidentally knock over, but you would also need to tip it back to a somewhat extreme angle in order to get everything out of it.

Does earth have inertial dampeners??

Does the gravity field count? It’d take a huge movement for us to notice any shift in Earth’s inertia.

Is the wider section actually hollow? I was imagining they might just have a normal round shape inside due to it being more difficult to mold.

No way am I able to clean that without a bottle brush. I’ll sick to a standard mug.

This seems like the kind of thing you’d need either a dishwasher, or one of those cafe rinsers that spray water up into the thing to clean.
You’d never be able to get your hand into the corners.

That is my biggest concern with drinkware like this. What if I forgot to clean it right away. If it got crusty, I would never get it clean.

I think the design was originally intended for use on boats, and other places where tipping is a likely occurrence.

I think it’s for any motor vehicle where tipping is likely. See this page with all sorts of pictures and examples, including old packaging.
