The container includes an open top through which the container is adapted to be filled, and a body portion having a shoulder section, which extends downwardly from the open top towards a closed base portion. The body portion has a plurality of vacuum panel pairs which are disposed in a spiral fashion about the body portion and configured for contributing to a superior top load strength of the container.
