Abstract
A blow molded container has a planar pinched section formed between and connecting a top wall, a neck and a front handle end of the container with an anti-glug vent tube formed in the planar pinched section so as to extend through the pinched section and spaced by parts of the planar pinched section away from the neck, from the front handle end and from the top wall. The vent tube is substantially horizontal at the neck breaking through a vertical wall of the neck and has the other end breaking out through the top wall at the bottom of the downwardly extending section between the neck and the front handle end.
