It is not a square cylinder.

A triangular cylinder is right out.

Square cylinders are just cubes. Triangle cylinders are triangular prisms.

I don't see the problem, really. What other shape would a penguin come in?

They're typically roughly cuboid, though best approximated with rounded corners, and wrapped in a layer of plastic.

I might need a snack.

An oloid, the only shape nature has ever intending them to be in.

But what shall I do once a circular cylinder has been assumed? A cylinder whose cross section takes the shape of a circle?
