Abstract
A plurality of ice cream cone nesting sites (14) are formed on the base wall (12,12') of a carrier (10,10'). Each nesting site is formed by a nesting wall configured as a truncated cone with its diameter decreasing as the distance from the base wall increases. The bottom wall is spaced above a supporting surface on which the carrier may be placed by feet (22,22') extending downwardly from the bottom wall to facilitate grasping and handling. A lip (28) may be formed around the outer perimeter of the bottom wall to provide spill containment and to enhance gripping of the carrier.
