Abstract
A packaged product, a method of manufacturing a package, and a method of dispensing a consumable substance from a package. The packaged product may include a flexible tube having a cavity and an opening that forms a passageway into the cavity. A cap may be detachably coupled to the flexible tube to close the opening. A flexible container may be positioned within the cavity of the flexible tube, and a consumable substance may be disposed within the flexible container, which can be completely sealed and free of openings prior to first use. Introduction of one or more drops of water into the first cavity through the opening in the outer container may dissolve at least a portion of the flexible container thereby forming a hole in the flexible container through which the consumable substance is configured to be dispensed.
