The top end closure includes an easy-opening feature for adapting the container to be easily opened by removing at least a part of the top end closure to obtain access to the powdered product within the container after filling and closure of the bottom end portion. A measuring cup device is detachably attached at its closed side to an inside surface of the part of the top end closure adapted to be removed during container opening (1) for adapting the cup device to be removed and detached for use after opening of the container and (2) for adapting the container to be filled in the inverted position with an open side of the cup device facing up to receive powdered product therein during filling to prevent undesirable air from being trapped within the cup device.
