Has anyone else noticed what is happening with oil containers?

Today I went to my favorite America's store and bought a few quarts of
Texaco Haveline 20/50wt. I have been running this in my engine forever.
Seems to perform well..

Anyhow, when I opened the first bottle to pour into my engine oil spout,
imagine my surprise when  I realized the bottle spout was the same size
if not bigger than the engine oil tube. What a pain. Oil went every
where.

Anyway, I'm unhappy with this turn of events. Oil pouring from now on
will be very messy. No longer can you just hang it in there.
