A functional configuration for the bottom of containers and other objects needing the characteristic of being able to stand upright on a horizontal surface that facilitates their submersion into ice and other particles. This invention is comprised of a number of arc shaped arms (10) that start at the center of the bottom of a container or other object and extend outward to the edge. The arms (10) have a top surface that is parallel to a horizontal plane. There is a cutaway portion for particle dispersal (16) that is formed by the meeting of the surfaces that extend from the concave (12) and convex sides (14) of adjacent arms. The surface extending from the convex side of an arm (14) is set at an angle to the horizontal plane that is greater than the surface extending from the concave side (12) of the adjacent arm. This creates a ridge along the convex side of each arm and a cutaway portion for particle dispersal (16) that starts near the center of the bottom of a container and extends outward to the edge of the container getting wider and deeper as it moves outward. The user simply presses the bottom of the container into the ice or other particles that the container is to be submerged into and rotates it. The invention will dig a hole for itself.
