The container of claim 1, wherein a radius of the right curved hand-grip is substantially parallel to a radius of the right curved handle. 3. The container of claim 1, wherein the container further comprises two bail ears formed between the upper satellite ring and the lower satellite ring. 4. The container of claim 1, wherein the left curved handle and the right curved handle each extend downwardly from the sidewall, then flare outwardly from the sidewall. 5. The container of claim 4, wherein: the top surface of the upper satellite ring slopes downwardly from the first particular distance from the integrally formed upper lip and from a first point on the top surface of the upper satellite ring to the second particular distance from the integrally formed upper lip to form the top surface of the left curved handle;the top surface of the upper satellite ring slopes downwardly from the first particular distance from the integrally formed upper lip and from a second point on the top surface of the upper satellite ring to the second particular distance from the integrally formed upper lip to form the top surface of the left curved handle; andthe container comprises a continuous gap between the sidewall and the top surface of the left curved handle between the first point and the second point. 6. The container of claim 5, wherein: the lower satellite ring comprises a lower surface; andthe lower surface of lower satellite ring slopes downwardly to form a lower surface of the left curved handle. 7. The container of claim 6, wherein the top surface of the left curved handle is lower than the lower surface of the lower satellite ring at one or more points. 8. The container of claim 7, wherein the substantially circular bottom integrally forms a left arcuate hand-grip and a right arcuate hand-grip. 9. The container of claim 8, wherein the left arcuate hand-grip comprises a slope from the substantially circular bottom along a curved edge of the arcuate hand-grip substantially concentric with an outer edge of the substantially circular bottom to an apex of the left arcuate hand-grip. 10. A container comprising: a substantially circular bottom defining at least one curved hand-grip by sloping from a bottom surface of the substantially circular bottom along a curved edge of the at least one curved hand-grip substantially concentric with an outer edge of the substantially circular bottom to an apex of the at least one curved hand-grip;a sidewall extending perpendicular from the substantially circular bottom and terminating with an integrally formed upper lip, wherein an upper portion of the sidewall defines an opening;an upper satellite ring coupled to the sidewall at a first particular distance below the upper lip, the upper satellite ring extending outward from the sidewall at a downward angle and comprising a top surface and a bottom surface;a lower satellite ring coupled to the sidewall below the upper satellite ring, the lower satellite ring extending outward from the sidewall and shaped to receive an upper lip of another container; andat least one curved handle integrally formed with the upper and lower satellite rings, wherein: the at least one curved handle extends below the lowest point of the lower satellite ring, the at least one curved hand-grip has a radius that is substantially parallel to a radius of the at least one curved handle;the top surface of the upper satellite ring slopes from the first particular distance below the upper lip downwardly to a second particular distance from the upper lip to form a top surface of the at least one curved handle; andthe second particular distance is below the bottom surface of the upper satellite ring. 11. The container of claim 10, wherein the least one curved handle comprises a left curved handle and a right curved handle. 12. The container of claim 11, wherein the at least one curved hand-grip comprises a left arcuate hand-grip and a right arcuate hand-grip. 13. The container of claim 12, wherein a radius of the right curved handle is substantially parallel to a radius of the right arcuate hand-grip. 14. The container of claim 13, wherein a radius of the left curved handle is substantially parallel to a radius of the left arcuate hand-grip. 15. The container of claim 10, wherein the lower satellite ring forms a substantially arc shape. 16. The container of claim 10, wherein the at least one curved hand-grip comprises less than 20% of the exterior surface of the substantially circular bottom. 17. The container of claim 10, wherein the at least one curved hand-grip comprises less than 30% of the exterior surface of the substantially circular bottom. 18. A container comprising: a substantially circular bottom defining at least one arcuate hand-grip by sloping from a bottom surface of the substantially circular bottom along a curved edge of the at least one arcuate hand-grip substantially concentric to an outer edge of the substantially circular bottom to an apex of the at least one curved hand-grip;a sidewall extending perpendicular to the substantially circular bottom and terminating with an integrally formed upper lip, wherein an upper portion of the sidewall defines an opening;a satellite ring coupled to the sidewall below the upper lip, the satellite ring extending outward from the sidewall and shaped to receive an upper lip of another container at a first particular distance from the integrally formed upper lip; andat least one curved handle integrally formed with the satellite ring, wherein: the at least one curved handle extends below the lowest point of the satellite ring, a radius of the at least one curved hand-grip is substantially parallel to a radius of the at least one curved handle and a radius of the satellite ring;a lower surface of the satellite ring slopes downwardly from the first particular distance from the integrally formed upper lip to a second particular distance from the integrally formed upper lip to form a lower surface of the at least one curved handle; andthe second particular distance is greater than the first particular distance. 19.
