Abstract
The present invention provides a container for storing and dispensing food stuffs. The container includes a shell having a sidewall and a bottom wall. Together, the sidewall and the bottom wall define an interior of the container. The bottom wall is detachably connected to the sidewall. The apparatus further includes a liner positioned within the container for holding the food stuffs. Upon the application of an appropriate force, the bottom wall is detached from the sidewall and forced into the interior of the container. As the bottom wall is forced into the interior of the container, the liner collapses and the food stuffs are forced towards an opening in the container opposite to the bottom wall.
