A dispenser comprising:
- a dispenser body with an axis, the dispenser body having a first wall and a second wall that are spaced apart along the axis and a third wall connecting the first and second walls and extending around the axis;
- and
- a pusher external to the dispenser body, and pivotally secured to the dispenser body at outer surfaces of the first and second walls for movement around the axis,
- wherein,
- the dispenser body includes an interior space within which can be held an edible product,
- the dispenser body includes an opening in the third wall via which the edible product can be extracted,
- the dispenser body includes a dispensing surface upon which the edible product can travel,
- the dispenser body includes a slot in the third wall of the dispenser body over the dispensing surface, the slot extending longer in a direction other than parallel to the axis than in a direction parallel to the axis, and
- the pusher includes a prong that fits into and is extendible within the slot to engage with the edible product.
