Abstract
The invention involves the incorporation and enablement of elements that are incorporated into a consumer product that provide necessary balance, placement, positioning, shape, contour, and geometry that prevent a portion of the product from touching or contacting a surface on which the product is placed. The elements can be readily integrated into high-volume consumable products to increase utility, function and features of the consumable product at minimal incremental cost and adjustment to production and manufacturing processes. The invention further reports processes and compositions that enable consumable products with differentiating features, which products would otherwise be deficient for their intended use and application.
