A blow molded container has a planar pinched section formed between and connecting a top wall, a neck and a front handle end of the container with an anti-glug vent tube formed in the planar pinched section so as to extend through the pinched section and spaced by parts of the planar pinched section away from the neck, from the front handle end and from the top wall. The vent tube is substantially horizontal at the neck breaking through a vertical wall of the neck and has the other end breaking out through the top wall at the bottom of the downwardly extending section between the neck and the front handle end.

The invention claimed is: 1. A blow molded container comprising: a bottom wall, side walls and a top wall enclosing a hollow interior; a neck formed in the top wall and defining an opening through which liquid contained within the hollow interior can be poured for discharge from the container; a handle formed at the top wall rearward of the neck and having a front handle end adjacent the neck and a handle opening underneath the handle and rearward of the front handle end; a planar pinched section formed between and connecting the top wall, the neck and the front handle end; a vent tube having an air inlet mouth at the neck and an air outlet mouth at the top wall; the neck having a restrictive orifice therein below the air inlet mouth shaped and arranged such that, when liquid is poured from the container through the neck, the liquid is directed away from the air inlet mouth to allow air to enter the air inlet mouth to pass through the vent tube to the hollow interior without being restricted by the exiting liquid; the vent tube being formed in the planar pinched section so as to extend through the pinched section and spaced by parts of the planar pinched section away from the neck from the front handle end and from the top wall; the vent tube including an upper substantially horizontal portion which defines said air inlet mouth in a substantially vertical wall of the neck. 2. The container according to claim 1 wherein the vent tube has a downwardly extending portion which is located between the neck and the front handle end and wherein the air outlet mouth through the top wall is arranged at a bottom of the downwardly extending portion so as to be forward of the handle opening between the handle opening and the neck. 3. A blow molded container comprising: a bottom wall, side walls and a top wall enclosing a hollow interior; a neck formed in the top wall and defining an opening through which liquid contained within the hollow interior can be poured for discharge from the container; a handle formed at the top wall rearward of the neck and having a front handle end adjacent the neck and a handle opening underneath the handle and rearward of the front handle end; a planar pinched section formed between and connecting the top wall, the neck and the front handle end; a vent tube having an air inlet mouth at the neck and an air outlet mouth at the top wall; the neck having a restrictive orifice therein below the air inlet mouth shaped and arranged such that, when liquid is poured from the container through the neck, the liquid is directed away from the air inlet mouth to allow air to enter the air inlet mouth to pass through the vent tube to the hollow interior without being restricted by the exiting liquid; the vent tube being formed in the planar pinched section so as to extend through the pinched section and spaced by parts of the planar pinched section away from the neck from the front handle end and from the top wall; wherein the vent tube has a downwardly extending portion which is located between the neck and the front handle end and wherein the air outlet mouth through the top wall is arranged at a bottom of the downwardly extending portion so as to be forward of the handle opening between the handle opening and the neck.
