Researched List: Retail Multipack Systems for Cups, Tubs, & Bottles 2-4 Count

An important distinction regarding this Researched List is it focuses on retail multipacks, rather than distribution multipacks. Retail multipacks are meant as a single unit for sale to the customer. Distribution multipacks are meant for the supply chain and separated into individual units before being sold to the customer.
