1. A dual bottle container comprising:
- first and second bottles each having a generally planar wall portion extending from a front surface to a back surface of said bottle, and a longitudinal axis extending heightwise of the bottle;
the generally planar wall portion of the first bottle having a raised portion forming a substantially flat plateau extending transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bottle and bordered on opposite sides by rounded lip portions;
the generally planar wall portion of the second bottle having a recessed portion forming a substantially flat depression extending transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bottle and bordered on opposite sides by rounded groove portions;
at least one of the rounded lip portions or the rounded groove portions being tapered at opposite ends to form a peak;
the plateau being receivable within the depression in a sliding relationship to engage the rounded lip portions of the first bottle with the rounded groove portions of the second bottle as the two bottles are moved to a predetermined engaged position in which said generally planar wall portions are in close face-to-face relation.

Abstract
A dual bottle container has two bottles which are releasably interlocked together in side-by-side relation by a plateau on one of the bottles which engages a depression on the other bottle for transverse sliding movement. The plateau is bordered at opposite sides by rounded lip portions and the depression is bordered at opposite sides by rounded groove portions, the lip portions and the groove portions engaging each other to prevent undesired relative movement between the two bottles.
