A container system, comprising:

• a container insert including a chamber and a number of ridges positioned along the material chamber;
• a driving member engaged with and rotatable relative to the container insert;
• a support member positioned in the chamber and including a support surface on which a material in the chamber may be positioned;
• a plug member positioned between the support member and the container insert, the plug member being configured to prevent passage between the support member and the container insert of the material which may be positioned in the chamber;
• and
• an outer container including a container body extending between a first end and an opposite second end, the container body including a hollow interior communicating with an opening at the first end of the container body and configured to receive the container insert, wherein the container insert includes a generally cylindrical portion and an out-of-round portion positioned adjacent to the generally cylindrical portion and the out-of-round portion is enlarged relative to the generally cylindrical portion and configured to engage with a portion of the container body when the container insert is positioned in the hollow interior of the container body to provide a press fit between the container body and the container insert;
• wherein the support member is engaged with the driving member and movable in the chamber in response to rotation of the driving member relative to the container insert and the number of ridges limit rotation of the support member relative to the container insert.
