This theme always reminds me of the story Joel Spolsky related about optimizing the number of sesame seeds on a burger bun [0]. It may work for a while, but there is a logical lower limit to how small an ice cream container can be before it becomes a pint (e.g. pint plus 1/32 oz?). But that is always the next guy's problem, I suppose.
