Abstract

A container is provided for storing and dispensing objects in an easy-to-fill, easy-to-ship, and easy-to-use manner. The container is provided with a dispensing portion sized according to the size of the objects contained within the container such that the objects are dispensed only when desired. The dispensing portion is provided opposite an access opening allowing a user to use the dispensing portion in combination with the access opening to conveniently dispense the objects as required and further to prevent unintended dispensing of the contained items.
