 the first lower portion extends from a bottom of the first bottle to substantially half a height of the first bottle, and   the second lower portion extends from a bottom of the second bottle to substantially half a height of the second bottle.   
     
     
         10 . The series of bottles according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the first bottle comprises a first neck and a first body,   the second bottle comprises a second neck and a second body, and   the first body and the second body are substantially rectangular along vertical extents thereof when viewed from above the first neck and the second neck, respectively.   
     
     
         11 . The series of bottles according to  claim 1 , wherein the first bottle comprises a first lower portion, the second bottle comprises a second lower portion and the first lower portion and the second lower portion have a same height and width as seen from front and side views. 
     
     
         12 . The series of bottles according to  claim 11 , wherein the same height is about half a height of each bottle. 
     
     
         13 . The series of bottles according to  claim 1 , wherein the first bottle comprises:
 a grip portion comprising a panel, wherein a periphery of the panel comprises:
 a top portion and a bottom portion that are recessed relative to a surrounding portion of the grip portion, 
 two side portions that are raised relative to the surrounding portion of the grip portion, and 
 transitions between the top portion and the side portions and between the bottom portion and the side portions. 
   
     
     
         14 . The series of bottles according to  claim 13 , wherein the panel is substantially flat interior to the periphery.
