A closure (30) for a container having an opening is disclosed. The container comprises a base cap (31) which includes an outer skirt (36) having container-engaging structure, a cylindrical well defining a chamber for containing and supporting a consumable or other item located therein, a frangible membrane (41) connected to the well along an inclined line (42) of weakness and by a hinge member. The hinge member has a pocket which extends downwardly adjacent lower and upper terminuses of the line of weakness. Also included is an overcap (32) which includes a body having gripping structure, an inner skirt received within and rotatably positioned relative to the well, and a cutting member (50) depending from a lower end of the inner skirt and substantially received within the pocket. The cutting member (50) extends below the lower terminus when the base cap (31) is assembled to the overcap (32), whereby the cutting member (50) severs the line of weakness upon substantial rotation of the overcap (32) with respect to the base cap (31).
