Ingredients: 7 cans of beer or other beverage

Put one can of beer upright on a surface. Arrange the other six cans
around it in a hexagon. (It's a frivolous geometrical construction) This
is a seven-pack. I know I'm not the first person to notice this but has
anyone actually marketed it?

Hexagons may stack well, but they are hell on conventional packaging
equipment...
