As an aside to this topic...

If you want to go really OCD on this style of no-spill container, the associated mathematics can become moderately complex. Assuming that you want the can to be no-spill on its side and completely inverted there are mathematical relations among the following variables that must be satisfied...

inner diameter of can
inner diameter of tube
projection of tube into can interior

I actually wrote a computer program to do the calculations but never published it because I realized that nobody is that OCD about such a mundane item.

At the other end of the spectrum, we have this design that demonstrates that even I am not that OCD...

From my observations and strictly non-professional abilities as a psychologist, in most cases OCD exists within those who don't know why, when or how to apply the energy.
