The lid has a central portion (14) and a peripheral annular skirt (16). The skirt has an annular groove (30) dividing the skirt into an upper portion (32) and a lower tear-off strip portion (34). The uppe r portion has intermittent locking flange segments (36) for engaging one of th e container locking flanges. The tear-off strip portion has a second locking flange (38) for engaging the other of the container locking flanges. Opening s (40) are formed in the skirt upper portion on either side of the intermitten t locking flange segments (36) and bordering on the annular groove (30), so th at the openings form weakening notches upon removal of the tear-off strip porti on (34) to facilitate upward deflection of the lid annular skirt (16) in the ar ea of the intermittent flange segments (36) to facilitate removal of the lid.</ SDOAB>
