Why Do Wilton Pans Have Slanted Sides?

Am I missing something? This doesn't make sense to me.
I don't have a clue but it took me a while to figure out the problem with my cake bulges. Was focusing on the filling dam as the problem when all along I just needed to trim the sides. (thanks, sugarshack).
I'm convinced it's because it helps them stack better on store shelves.....remember that Wilton is geared towards the home baker who does only a few cakes a year. Wilton does have a more expensive, professional line of bakeware (I think it's called Decorator Preferred) that has straight sides, but you're better off going with Magic Line or Fat Daddio's pans....
Beckalita has some sage advice.
Well I already bought the Wilton ones and until I see that I will be making more cakes I can't justify buying more of the same size and paying shipping, etc. But when I DO go to buy more pans I'll make sure they have straight sides, and try to buy better pans. I find it ironic that my moms old 9"x1.5 pans have straight sides and if they had have been 2" tall I'd be using them.
