Abstract
A storage container which includes a base within which is defined a storage compartment. A lid is to be connectable with the base closing the storage compartment to the ambient. The lid is bulbous so that relative to the storage compartment it can be located in a concave position decreasing the size of the storage compartment or a convex position increasing the size of the storage compartment. This reversibility of the lid can be achieved by constructing the lid so as to actually be physically reversible or also by having the lid to be physically deflectable from the convex position to the concave position.
