So, is the aero theory behind this similar to golf ball dimples? What about the extra weight?

Funny story. I was talking with one of my coworkers (Sr Sci) about coroplast (one of our shipping containers uses it for protection), and he thought i said chloroplast. He's like "why the hell would anyone want to use chloroplast as a container?" hahah.

Lucky you!

I bet the folks around the office at "Coroplast Inc" have had discussions along these lines before!
Hey, I wonder if they make it in green....

I'm glad you posted Metro. I saw "chloroplast" again and I thought I was going to have to blow up.
