Abstract
A container for the storing and the direct consumption of edible contents therefrom. The container comprises a substantially cylindrically shaped container defined by an upstanding sidewall and an upper lid and a substantially parallel lower closure. The container also comprises a cover removably mounted above the upper lid to define a space between the upper lid and the cover. A utensil is located within the space for consuming the edible contents within the container. The container further comprises means between the upper lid and the cover for emitting a fragrance upon the separation of the cover from the upper lid. One of the lids and the sidewall thereadjacent is constricted to a reduced size for being inserted into the opposite end of another container for stacking purposes. The package is tamper evident with its upper lid coupled with respect to the sidewall so as to preclude littering. Lastly, also disclosed are methods of fabricating, filling and using such containers.
