Why do plastic carbonated drink bottles have many "stubby" feet rather than a flat bottom?!


Question:

Why do plastic carbonated drink bottles have many "stubby" feet rather than a flat bottom?


Answers:

Although,there is some thought applied from the answerers above,I tend to disgree on the grounds that "still" drinks dont have "feet".
I prefer to think that the design allows for structural integrity to the bottle containing highly expansive liquid.A flat base would become convex during expansion of the liquid and would be unable to stand.
