A combination food pad container and dispenser, comprising:
- a sealed elongated container, said container being formed of flexible or resilient film material and having at least one surrounding wall, a closed top and a closed bottom and at least one mounting aperture, said aperture is disposed adjacent said top;
- said at least one surrounding wall comprises a front wall, a rear wall, first and second side walls, all of said walls being attached to said closed top and said closed bottom;
- said container is sized and shaped to slidably surround a plurality of horizontally stacked food pads, said pads having at least one planar surface;
- said front wall having a central, closely spaced pair of openable perforations, said perforations are orthogonal to said planar surface, said perforations providing a dispensing opening in said container;
- said closely spaced pair of openable perforations beginning at a top edge of said container and extending downwardly to a point spaced upwardly from said closed bottom of said container;
- said perforations having at least one arresting feature which is rectilinear along its entire length, said at least one rectilinear arresting feature having a first predetermined length, a first end and a second end, and providing an intermediate point for controlling initial opening of said perforations;
- said at least one rectilinear arresting feature being an orthogonal single line cut through said flexible or resilient film material of said container across and extending past both sides of said perforations at a point disposed between an upper end and a lower end of said perforation;
- said front wall having a perimeter and said first predetermined length of said arresting features being entirely within said perimeter;
- a rack for supporting said container, said rack having at least one upward pointing protrusion, said protrusion is sized and shaped to fit slidably through said at least one aperture;
- said rack having an angled post;
- said post having a horizontal crossbar affixed at an upper end of said post, said crossbar providing a mounting point for said at least one upward pointing protrusion and supporting said container when suspended from said at least one protrusion;
- and
- said angled post being rotatably mounted to a back support at a pivot point located between upper and lower ends of said angled post and being adjustably and, rotatably mounted to a base post, said back support being rotatably mounted to said base post;
- and
- said container having a width wider than said angled post.
