Nick tried once, so I'll give it a shot.
The tube is supposed to be long, that long. It's designed so that when fully inserted the tube is bent inside the container and it will then automatically find a corner to reside in. This allows the bottle to be tilted so that, as Nick previously stated, all of the product can be gotten out of the bottle. This way you're not wasting product, nor wasting your money.
If the tube isn't as long as it currently is, then you could use all of the product simply because the tube would be much too short to rest in a corner of the bottle.
A round bottle would be no different, as the tube would need to also be bent inside the bottle to glean every last drop of product from the bottle.
I'm not sure you understood this early. If you don't now, you'll most likely never understand it and your best bet would be to allow Nick to refund your money. In that event, it still isn't AG's fault. The bottle is designed that way. Go ahead and thread it on and use it. You'll see what we're talking about.
If that works the only thing left to do is go ahead and use the Souveran. Who wants bragging rights on the can of wax anyway. I'd much rather turn heads with the shine of my car...
...that is unless you're putting it on your bicycle. Joke...no harm intended.
