a body adapted to cover the opening; a plurality of projecting portions extending from a periphery of the body, the projecting portions spaced from one another around the periphery, each projecting portion having an upper surface portion and a connected side surface portion, the upper portions and side portions of the projections adapted to overlap and surround the adjacent portion of a container rim and a corresponding portion of a peripheral bead on the rim; a ring frangibly connected to the side portions of the plurality of projecting portions, the ring adapted to surround in a spaced relationship with the external sidewall; and a plurality of retaining fingers, the fingers spaced from one another and interleaved within the spacing between adjacent projecting portions, the fingers projecting inwardly from the ring and having projected ends adapted to engage the external sidewall and the peripheral bead associated with the container rim,
wherein the projected ends of the fingers are vertically exposed through the spacing between the upper portions of the projecting portions during formation of the closure lid,wherein the engagement of the fingers with the external sidewall and the bead is laterally exposed through the spacing between the side portions of the projecting when the lid is mounted on the container rim, andwherein the fingers are removed along with the ring upon frangible disconnection of the ring from the projecting portions.
