Straight edge food and beverage container

A system, comprising:

• a container, comprising:
• a receptable configured to receive at least one of food or a beverage;
• and
• a wall within which the receptable is disposed, the wall comprising:
• a first end;
• a second end opposite to the first end;
• a base edge coplanar with the second end and comprising an edge point;
• an outer surface extending along a length of the wall from the first end to the base edge, the outer surface comprising:
• a first point located a distance away from the edge point that is not less than 50% of a distance between the first end and the second end;
• and
• a second point located a distance away from the edge point that is not greater than 10% of the distance between the first end and the second end;
• and
• a base located below the receptable, converging with the base edge at a perimeter of the base, and comprising a groove;
• and
• an insert configured to be partially and removably received by the groove of the base,
• wherein each of the edge point, first point, and second point are collinear.

A method of manufacturing a container, comprising:

• forming a container, the container comprising a wall comprising:
• a first end;
• a second end opposite to the first end;
• a base edge coplanar with the second end and comprising an edge point;
• an outer surface extending along a length of the wall from the first end to the base edge, the outer surface comprising:
• a first point located a distance away from the edge point that is not less than 50% of a distance between the first end and the second end;
• and
• a second point located a distance away from the edge point that is not greater than 10% of the distance between the first end and the second end,
• wherein each of the edge point, first point, and second point are collinear;
• forming a receptacle configured to receive at least one of food or a beverage within the container, the receptacle extending from the first end to a third point between the second end and the first end;
• coating the outer surface with a polymeric material;
• wrapping a sheet around the outer surface such that the sheet contacts the base edge and extends from the base edge to the first end;
• exposing the container to a heat source for an interval of time;
• and
• removing the sheet from the outer surface.
