A flat-top stopper must be laid with its flat sides on the table to ensure stability and prevent it from rolling or tipping over. This orientation maximizes its contact with the surface, providing a secure base that minimizes the risk of accidental spills or breakage. Additionally, positioning the stopper this way can facilitate easier access to its contents when needed.
So that whatever leftover gunk happens to be on the table doesn't get all over the part of the stopper that goes into the bottle, contaminating the contents.

A table-shaped hill with a flat top and steep sides is typically called a mesa. Mesas are found in arid and semi-arid regions and are formed through erosion processes exposing resistant rock layers. They are often distinctive landforms in desert landscapes.
To remove a flat tub stopper from a bathtub drain, the most effective method is to use a flathead screwdriver to unscrew the stopper counterclockwise. Once it is loose, you can lift it out of the drain.

A high tableland is a flat and elevated area of land with steep sides, resembling a table. It is usually found at higher altitudes and can be formed by erosion or tectonic activity. The flat top of a tableland offers expansive views of the surrounding landscape.
