The top has depending therefrom an integral peripheral axial flange The top has therein a recess defined by a bottom wall and a side wall. A portion only of the bottom wall is defined by an integral removable tear-out member, such that removal of the tear-out member forms a dispensing-opening in the bottom wall. The bottom wall has therein a slit positioned such that when the tear-out member is removed the slit connects with the dispensing opening. A lid is selectively movable between a first position fitted within the recess and a second position removed from the recess. This lid includes a first portion adapted to cover the tear-out member or the dispensing opening when the lid is in the first position thereof. The lid includes a second portion adapted to cover the slit when the lid is in the first position thereof. The second portion of the lid is integrally but flexibly connected to the first portion of the lid, such that when the lid is in the first position thereof the second portion of the lid is selectively pivotably with respect to the first portion of the lid out of the recess, to thereby uncover the slit.</p> |
