A support for holding the container in a substantially upright position is provided. The support includes a first foot integrally formed with the bottom wall and extending therefrom to lie in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the bottom wall, and a second foot removably attached to the first foot in a first configuration, and detachably engagable with the first foot in a second configuration different from the first configuration to lie in a plane perpendicular to the first foot.
